HPE6-A88 Exam - Topic 7 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A88 exam

Question #: 4
Topic #: 7

An organization is setting up a ClearPass server for their network authentication. The administrator has installed a certificate issued by an internal Certificate Authority. The clients cannot fully validate the server's certificate. What additional step must the administrator take to ensure the clients can successfully validate the certificate?

ADisable the trust check in the client's validation process.

BInstall the root certificate from the internal Certificate Authority on all client devices.

CReissue the certificate from a public Certificate Authority.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Certificate trust is hierarchical. For a client device to trust a server certificate, it must trust the Root CA that signed it. If an internal CA is used, its root certificate is not present in the default trust stores of consumer devices. Therefore, the administrator must deploy that root certificate to every client (typically via GPO, MDM, or Onboard) so they can successfully verify the identity of the ClearPass server during the EAP handshake.
