Hi,

I am having a hard time figuring out how to make this work. Where/how
does the cert get imported. Do I need to make a registry change in
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\EAPOL\Parameters\General\Global
to make this work? I hope this is the part someone on the list will
have done before and be able to guide me or point me at a howto.

I had a hard time with this as well, and finally succeeded, using
Windows XP.
There are many points that matter:
* You have to edit your registry to add a "AuthMode" dword key in
  KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\EAPOL\Parameters\General\Global
  with value 2.
* You have to load your certificate and private key in the computer's
  personal store. I did that with mmc.exe. Note that loading the
  certificate and private key in a user's personal store and then
  moving them to the computer's store did not work for me.
* Your certificate must have "X509v3 Extended Key Usage: TLS Web Client
  Authentication" or Windows won't use it.
* The username Windows will use is the name in the certificate with
  "host/" prepended.

Note that things are quite different with Windows Vista.

Hope this helps,
