Analyze X.509 PEM certificates for 802.1X and EAP-TLS compatibility issues.

โ„น๏ธ About EAP-TLS Certificate Validator

The EAP-TLS Certificate Validator is a specialized forensic tool for network engineers troubleshooting 802.1X wireless and wired authentication.

A common cause of EAP-TLS failure is a malformed certificate that is missing required Extended Key Usages (EKU) or has an invalid Subject Alternative Name (SAN). This tool parses the raw PEM certificate and explicitly checks for the necessary attributes (such as Client Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2)) required by standard RADIUS servers like Microsoft NPS, Cisco ISE, and FreeRADIUS.

๐Ÿ“– How to use EAP-TLS Certificate Validator

  1. 1. Export the client or server certificate in Base64-encoded PEM format.
  2. 2. Paste the entire contents, including the <code>-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----</code> and <code>-----END CERTIFICATE-----</code> lines.
  3. 3. Click 'Run Tool' to verify its 802.1X readiness.

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EKU?

Extended Key Usage (EKU) is a certificate extension that indicates the purposes for which the certified public key may be used. EAP-TLS strictly requires 'Client Authentication' for the connecting device and 'Server Authentication' for the RADIUS server.
