      I followed the instructions here (https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Using_EAP_and_PEAP_with_FreeRADIUS) to setup FreeRadius and PEAP authentication for WPA Enterprise Wifi Security.

      Everything seems to be working ok, except I would like to avoid the user having to explicitly trust the Certificate the first time they authenticate. Is that possible?

      I tried downloading the CA I created while setting it up and installing that on an iPhone and then connecting but it still prompted me to trust the certificate.

      I am trying to come up with the most seamless experience for end users and I have the ability to push certs to the iOS devices via MDM.

      Any help would be appreciated.

        Try installing cert of the FreeRADIUS server to iOS device before trying to authenticate, if that does not work you will most likely need a cert issued by trusted CA for your FreeRADIUS server certificate.

          Did you try pushing a wifi configuration profile with your root certificate in it?  I don't think a publicly trusted certificate would work here.  I think you need to explicitly trust a RADIUS server certificate when you're using EAP.
