IEEE 802.1X Certificates
IEEE 802.1X is a standard that enables port-based network access control via an authentication server. The protocol
requires that all devices must be authenticated before gaining privileges to access the secure part of the network.
The Extron implementation of 802.1X supports PEAP - MSCHAPV2 and EAP - TLS methods of authentication.
This section of the guide details the requirements for any certicate le (machine or CA) and the private key
le (for the machine certicate) to be used in the system.
Extron provides resources for learning about 802.1X implementation:
• The Extron 802.1X Technology Reference Guide, available from www.extron.com, is the primary resource
for background information, system planning, topology, and how to set up these systems.
• The Toolbelt Help file provides detailed step-by-step information on using the software to set up 802.1X for
IP Link Pro control systems and on troubleshooting.
• The 802.1X Primer white paper, also available from www.extron.com, provides a general overview of the
protocol and its use within a control system.
NOTES:
• You must run Toolbelt as an administrator.
• Machine certificates require a private key file, which can be encrypted.
Certificate File Requirements
PEM (Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail) le types are ASCII encoded, and they are the required format for
802.1X authentication for the control processors. DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) le types are binary
encoded and can typically have several le extension variations, such as .crt and .cer.
NOTE: DER encoded files (files with .der, .crt, or .cer extensions that are encoded in DER binary format)
must be converted to a PEM encoded file type (.pem) before being used for authentication.
DER encoded certicates must be converted to PEM encoding using a third-party tool. Contact your IT
administrator for more information on required tools.
To create the 802.1X security certicate for uploading to Extron control products, ensure that the certicate le
meets the following requirements:
• It contains X.509 certificate information.
• It contains a private key (for machine certificates only).
• It is PEM encoded.
• It has a file extension that is .crt or .pem
• Its file name consists of the following types of valid characters:
• Alphanumerical (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) characters
• Some special characters (colon [:], underscore [_], and hyphen [-])
NOTE: Spaces are not permitted anywhere in the name.
Private Key File Requirements
Private key les are required only when employing machine certicates. Follow these requirements for creating a
private key:
• Its file name consists of the following types of valid characters:
• Alphanumerical (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) characters
• Some special characters (colon [:], underscore [_], and hyphen [-])
• It has a file extension that is .key or .pem.
• It can have optional encryption (via password or passphrase).
Rev. D: Added the 802.1X
section.
NOTE: ITU-T standard X.509 covers aspects of public key encryption, digital
cryptography, certificates, and validation.
