A good test is to use the web UI to upload the 802.1x certificate. From the web UI, go to Upload> Certificate and view the screen. If the certificate is listed after a restart of the PCoIP Zero Client then the certificate was uploaded successfully (see the screenshot below). Notice the key symbol beside the certificate, this indicates that the certificate contains a private key which is a requirement for 802.1x network authentication.

Click Details. In the pop-up window, an entry appears that contains private key: true. If the certificate is being used for 802.1x network authentication you must also select and apply it under the Network tab of the zero client (web UI Configuration> Network).

Also remember that you need to upload a 801.x server root CA certificate and set the Identity string.

The following screenshot shows three certificates that were successfully uploaded. In this case the certificates are used for the following:


 
Another way to tell is view the log file of the PCoIP zero client. From the web UI go to Diagnostics>Event Log, and then select View. You should see the following log file entries indicating that the upload was successful. Remember to note the time of upload.
