CWNP CWSP-207 Exam - Topic 3 Question 17 Discussion

Actual exam question for CWNP's CWSP-207 exam

Question #: 17
Topic #: 3

Given: Your company has just completed installation of an IEEE 802.11 WLAN controller with 20 controller-based APs. The CSO has specified PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2 as the only authorized WLAN authentication mechanism. Since an LDAP-compliant user database was already in use, a RADIUS server was installed and is querying authentication requests to the LDAP server.

Where must the X.509 server certificate and private key be installed in this network?

ASupplicant devices

BLDAP server

CController-based APs

DWLAN controller

ERADIUS server

I thought it could be on the APs too, but I guess not?

Definitely RADIUS server, that’s standard practice.

Wait, are we sure it’s not the WLAN controller?

The X.509 certificate goes on the RADIUS server.

I feel like the supplicant devices might need the certificate too, but it seems more likely that the RADIUS server is the right answer.

I practiced a similar question where the certificate was installed on the APs, but that was a different setup.

I remember something about needing the certificate on the WLAN controller for secure communication, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think the X.509 certificate should go on the RADIUS server since it handles the authentication requests, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm leaning towards option E, the RADIUS server. Since the RADIUS server is the one communicating with the LDAP server to authenticate users, that's where the certificate and key need to be installed.

I'm pretty sure the answer is the RADIUS server. The question states that the RADIUS server is querying the LDAP server for authentication, so the certificate and key need to be on the RADIUS server to establish the secure connection.

Okay, let me think this through. The WLAN controller is managing the APs, but the authentication is being handled by the RADIUS server. So the certificate and key should be installed on the RADIUS server, which is the central point of authentication.

I'm a bit confused here. Is the LDAP server also involved in the authentication process? If so, would the certificate need to be installed there as well?

Hmm, this seems straightforward. The X.509 certificate and private key need to be installed on the RADIUS server since it's the one handling the authentication requests.

Okay, I think I've got this. Since the employee is based in Germany, an EU country, the GDPR would apply to the fraud examiner's investigation, even though the examiner is located in a non-EU country. The key is the location of the employee, not the investigator.

Actually, I believe the X.509 server certificate and private key should be installed on the WLAN controller. It's responsible for managing the APs and ensuring secure communication.

I agree with William. The RADIUS server is handling the authentication requests, so it makes sense to install the certificate and key there.

Easy peasy, the X.509 certificate and key go on the RADIUS server (option E). That's where the authentication traffic flows, and the certificate needs to be there to secure it.

I'm going with option D, the WLAN controller. It's the central hub, so that's where the certificate should be, right? Although, the RADIUS server also makes sense.

True, both the WLAN controller and RADIUS server could be valid choices. It's important to ensure the certificate is in the right place for secure authentication.

Haha, I bet the CSO is scratching their head trying to figure out where to put that certificate. It's like a game of hide and seek!

The X.509 server certificate and private key must be installed on the RADIUS server (option E). That's where the authentication mechanism is implemented.
