Windows Certificate Store vs. Certs Path
Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VX9 and host computers when using any type of certificate.
Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
User Certificates
EAP-TLS authentication requires a user certificate. The user certificate must be stored in the Windows certificate
store.
