Hi all, (especially Microsoft)

We currently try to integrate our Smart Card to be used in Wireless EAP-TLS
authentication.
Currently we use our Smart Card for Microsoft Windows Certificate Logon.
To support the EAP-TLS, we add Client Authentication to the Extended Key
Usage (EKU).
But we are failed. The Microsoft complain the "Windows was unable to find a
certificate to log you on the network XXXX".

Upon this error, we are trying to use certificate from Certificate Store.

We import Certificate#1 to the Certificate store.

Certificate #1:
EKU=Client Authentication
Key Usage=Digital Signature, keyEncipherment, keyAgreement

MS Windows do not complain when we are using Certificate#1. The Wireless is
successfully connected.

We delete Certificate#1 from Certificate store and import Certificate# 2.

Certifcate #2:
EKU=Client Authentication, Smart Card Logon
Key Usage=Digital Signature, keyEncipherment, keyAgreement

And ha ha ......

The MS Windows complain "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you
on the network XXXX".

Why does the Smart Card Logon on EKU make the EAP-TLS failed ?

We need this two EKU on one Certificate because currently Microsoft called
our CSP using "default container" for Smart Card Logon and EAP-TLS.
And we cannot differentiate who is actually calling our CSP.

Has anyone face this problem before ?

Can someone from Microsoft confirm about this problem ?

Thank in advance for any help or idea......

Rudy
