Please be aware that the below example will only work with UC Software 4.0.0 or higher.
Trio UC Software 5.7.2 and VVX UC Software 5.9.0 introduced the Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol also known as => here <=

Supported EAP Authentication Protocols and Requirements
EAP-TLS
• Device certificate
• Trusted Root Certificate Authority and Client/Device certificates
• Identity (user name)
EAP-PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-PEAPv0/EAP-GTC
• Trusted Root Certificate Authority and Client/Device certificates
• Identity (user name)
• Password
EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
• Trusted Root Certificate Authority and Client/Device certificates
• Identity (user name)
• Password
EAP-MD5
• Identity (user name)
• Password
EAP-FAST
• Identity (user name)
• Password
• Optional PAC file, provisioned automatically through the network or manually using a PAC file password.
Option 1 using Configuration Files
NOTE: In order to use below Parameters the device.set="1" Parameter must be used.
The Parameters needed for this example are as follows:
<web device.set="1" device.net.dot1x.enabled="1" device.net.dot1x.enabled.set="1" />
above should be sufficient to enable 802.1x functionality
<web device.net.dot1x.method.set="1" device.net.dot1x.method="EAP-PEAPv0-MSCHAPv2" />
above sets the EAP-PEAPv0-MSCHAPv2 as the 802.1x method
<web device.sec.TLS.customCaCert2.set="1" device.sec.TLS.customCaCert2="<Certificate…….>" />
above adds the Certificate and the <Certificate…….> needs to be replaced with the actual certificate content.
It should be a DER-encoded certificate in PEM format. PEM certificates usually have extension such as .pem, .crt, .cer, and .key. They are Base64 encoded ASCII files and contain "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" statements.
<web device.sec.TLS.profile.caCertList1.set="1" device.sec.TLS.profile.caCertList1="All" />
above links the TLS Profile with the Platform 1 used in this example as Platform 2 supports 4096 bytes and Platform 1 only 1536 Bytes.
<web device.net.dot1x.password="Add a Password" device.net.dot1x.password.set="1"
device.net.dot1x.identity="Add a Username" device.net.dot1x.identity.set="1" />
above ensures that the Phone itself and a PC connected to the switch Port can authenticate themselves.
<web sec.dot1x.eapollogoff.enabled="1" sec.dot1x.eapollogoff.lanlinkreset="1" />
above ensures that the EAPOL logoff features for a PC connected via the Phone is enabled.
NOTE: Please ensure to consult the UCS Admin Guide for details on individual parameters.
Option 2 using the Phone Web Interface
Above links the TLS Profile with the Platform 1 used in this example as Platform 2 supports 4096 bytes and Platform 1 only 1536 Bytes.
The Certificate can either be imported via the Web Interface as described => here <= or simply place a URL into the field and click install:
Platform Credentials:
Settings > Network > TLS > Device Certificates
Specifying in either Platform 1 or Platform 2 a valid certificate
and clicking on Install will prompt the Phone to request the relevant key location:
The same can be provisioned via a configuration file for either the Platform Certificate 1:
device.sec.TLS.customDeviceCert1.set="1" device.sec.TLS.customDeviceCert1.publicCert="" device.sec.TLS.customDeviceCert1.privateKey=""
or the Platform Certificate 2
device.sec.TLS.customDeviceCert2.set="1" device.sec.TLS.customDeviceCert2.publicCert="" device.sec.TLS.customDeviceCert2.privateKey=""
Relationship between Platform Profiles:
- In the above example, we selected within the TLS Applications the TLS Platform Profile 2 for 802.1x as we are using a larger certificate.
- We are assigning the Device Credentials for Platform Credential 2 within the TLS Profile
- The CA Certificate within the TLS Profile is set to use All Certificates which means any added CA Certificate within the Certificate Configuration and in addition, all built-in certificates that are already on the phone (most common like GoDaddy/Symantec etc.).
- For Syslog the phone would use any Platform CA 1 assigned Certificate added via the Certificate Configuration.
A current overview of all certificates can be found => here <= usually within the Certificate Updates for Polycom UC Software
Outer ID / Anonymous ID authentication
The Anonymous ID is the outer ID
<web device.net.dot1x.anonid.set="1" device.net.dot1x.anonid="replace_with_outerID" />
Option 3 using RPRM / PDMS-E
- On RealPresence RessourceManager browse to Endpoint > UC Management > Configuration Profiles and either add the needed parameters or copy a working config via "Paste Configuration XML"
- On PDMS-E got to and add a new Profile Configuration and follow the above example
As explained above SCEP => here <= can be used to supply the certificate already
Troubleshooting:
- Missing or wrong Certificate
