Default Change SSID on the fly - Install certificate silently :|


Hi, I have an scenario where a wireless client discovers an AP and
connects with out credentials. The client is been redirected to an CA
provisioning page to obtain a certificate. With the certificate issued
by the CA authority provisioning pages I have two questions:
1- Is possible to install the certificates silently?
2- How to change the SSID on the fly changing the user from the
unsecured wireless network to my secure network?

I'll appreciate any answer.
Thanks,
Nelson

Default RE: Change SSID on the fly - Install certificate silently :|

Yes, this is possible - for example if the client machine has
an agent for this kind of cert & profiles deployment.
When the client machine gets connected to the provisioning
server, it will pull in the new profile and the cert for it,
and then reconnect - for example, by using the Wlan API.

Without such agent, Windows will not (and should not)
intall anything silently, it would be a security hole.
