Tutorial – EAP client at an EAP server

The following tutorial will configure an EAP client against an EAP server.

  1. Create two certificates or certificate containers, for example with the R&S®NC SCEP CA or OpenSSL.
  2. Import a certificate into the VPN gateway and a certificate into the RADIUS server.
    Important: Make sure the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) matches the valid DNS name of the VPN gateway and that the VPN client contacts the gateway under this DNS name.
  3. Establish the trust relationship by importing the valid CA certificate into the IKEv2 EAP client.
  4. Modify the DEFAULT entry of the IKEv2 remotes table under VPN > IKEv2/IPSec > VPN connections > Connection list as follows:
  5. Insert a new row in the IKEv2 Authentication table under VPN > IKEv2/IPSec > Authentication. Local authentication of the VPN gateway uses a certificate (RSA signature), and remote authentication of the clients is done by EAP.
  6. Configure the RADIUS server under VPN > IKEv2/IPSec > Extended settings > RADIUS authentication > RADIUS server.
  7. Configure an address pool under VPN > IKEv2/IPSec > IPv4 addresses.
