To eliminate the trust dialog for the RADIUS server, a user preference can be set for the wireless network with an SHA-1 hash of the certificate as a key and the certificate as the value. Using the Login Keychain with Access Controls and Identity Preferences As a result, we have escalated the issue with Apple and hope to resolve this issue in the future. In short, it didn’t allow us to use the login keychain without prompting. We investigated why the prompting occurred and gained a better understanding of the changes in the login keychain.
If you want to know how to solve the problem of prompting, skip to the “Avoiding Prompting by using the System Keychain” section.
In order to streamline the process, reduce user confusion, and help desk traffic, prompting the user for unknown items and entering the login password had to be eliminated. These prompts allow access to the private key associated with the certificate and set up permissions on the keychain items. Once the “Join” button is clicked, the user is prompted multiple times to enter in their login password. The prompt also has an entry for username, though the username may or may not be required (in our case, it wasn’t). When you attempt to join an 802.1X authenticated wireless on macOS Big Sur, the user is then prompted to select a username and password. In our test lab, we have an 802.1X setup to test certificate-based authentication to wireless networks. ResourcesĮapolcfg (binary is included in Keychain Detective in Contents/MacOS as well): Recent changes in the macOS login keychain required understanding why the prompting was occurring and investigating different options for eliminating these prompts. Over the past few weeks, we have been working on Certificate Request to configure EAP-TLS without prompting the user. Since the private key is not created or installed by an Apple process, the keychain permissions (called an Access Control List, or ACL) must be set up correctly in order to avoid unnecessary user prompting. The certificate can be either a machine or a user certificate.
Twocanoes Software has a solution named Certificate Request that enables a Mac to generate a private key locally on the Mac, submit a certificate signing request natively to a Microsoft Certificate Authority using DCE/RPCs, and install the certificate into the keychain. It can, however, be configured on the Mac without a X.509 configuration profile. p12 file, or does not bind Macs to Active Directory (a requirement for the AD Certificate profile), the Mac 802.1X configuration cannot be done with a configuration profile. If an organization does not use SCEP to sign certificate requests, requires that the private key not be made available outside the client as a. This may not be a good fit for every organization. The MDM configuration profile allows for three different ways to provide the X.509 certificate to the client: SCEP, p12, and the AD Certificate Profile. The process that provides access on macOS, eapolclient, can be configured either via an MDM configuration profile or directly on the macOS client. In enterprise environments, access to a wireless (or wired) network can be secured using 802.1X and X.509 certificates. However, development goes without problem as well as publication on AppStore.Posted on Augby Timo - Uncategorized Overview When I look at Account in XCode, Manage Certificates (for Mac Development Certificates and Developer ID Application Certificate), I see some old grayed out (declared as not in keychain) and others apparently valid but labeled as missing private key. Is there any issue to have it under my name and not my company ? Am I safe to let the old certificate expire without doing anything ? I changed my account from personal to Company several months ago, and that some certificates are listed with my name, not my company. one expiring 6 for the same name under my name. one expiring 3 for the same name under my name. one expiring 4 (object of the message) under my name one expiring 6 for the same name and platform.įor Developer ID Application, I find 4 cerificates for MacOS one expiring 3 for the same name and platform. Looking at my Account, I find 3 instances for this Developer ID Installer certificate for MacOS (I do not clean up regularly): Your Developer ID Application Certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days. Your Developer ID Installer Certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days.
