Hi

We’re in the process of bringing up a new NPS server, and a contractor tells me 
that the cert Common Name and the server’s DNS fqdn don’t have to match like 
they do on an SSL server.


“For wireless, any valid certificate will do.  It does not have to match the 
name of the NPS server.  You can use an existing certificate for anything as 
long as it’s valid and doesn't invalidate your licensing agreement with your 
SSL cert provider.”



If that’s true, I’ve been adding extra complexity to my work for years.  I 
guess “any valid cert” would also have to come from a CA the user’s computer 
accepts.  Comments?



Thanks

John
