Dear Stefan,

thank you for your help, this configuration seems to work :-)
I have installed on the CAT configuration the Root and the G4 Intermediate certificates (see screenshot) and the Class 3 G4 certificate on the RADIUS server.

I have a question: during the installation of a CAT profile on an Android KitKat device the installer didn't complete the installation and appeared a warning message like this "You have to set a pin code for the password manager..."
Is it a normal behavior?

Thanks again,

Michele

Hi,

EITHER: define the G5 root variant as the root, and *don't* send the
intermediate variant during EAP. This is utterly confusing to the client.
In this case have I to modify the RADIUS certificate putting only
server cert +
intermediate with only Symantec Class 3 Secure Server CA - G4?

On CAT side have I to put only G5 root?
That root, and for Android to work you also need to upload the Symantec
Class 3 Secure Server CA - G4.

That should be it. Please check if the warnings are then going away :-)

Stefan

OR: define the "Primary CA" as the root, and include the G5 intermediate
variant in CAT config and EAP. Do not send the G5 root variant in the
EAP conversation then.
I put the "Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority" root
certificate on cat configuration (see attached file
CAT_certificate_not_working.jpg).
Android seems to work but in the Wi-Fi config I see "certificate not
specified", Windows 7 doesn't work and when I run cat conf tool I see a
message that I have never seen with the old confs (see CAT_message.jpg).
In this case I didn't touch the RADIUS server certificate.

(in both cases, of course continue to send the G4 intermediate)

This is mostly a mess on VeriSign's side - but you need to be cautious,
too. "More helps more" does not apply to PKI certificates. You need to
send a consistent message. Superfluous items are okay (for most client
devices), but *conflicting ones* are not.
You are right, I hope to not have conflicting items :-)

Greetings,

Stefan Winter

Thanks a lot,

Michele
