- In the Web UI, the certificate validation occurs after entering the passphrase, loading the CA certificate (ca.crt), private key (user.key), and user certificate (user.crt).
- EAPoL can be forced to re-authenticate by using the ‘eapol -r’ Command Line Interface (CLI) command.
- An empty passphrase is set via the CLI using ‘eapol -p “” ‘
- To support a private key (user.key) that isn’t password-protected, enter an empty passphrase.
