How do I enable IEEE 802.1x Network Authentication in PCoIP Zero Clients and PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards?

1) Identify the certificates used for IEEE 802.1x network authentication in your organization

2) Ensure that the certificates are properly formatted

• Certificates must be in .PEM format and less than 6 KB

• Both a client certificate and a server root CA certificate are required to be uploaded
• 802.1x client certificate must also include a private key that uses RSA encryption
• 802.1x server CA root certificate

3) Convert to .PEM if necessary
