congurable only if you have set Network Authentication to WPA or WPA2 in
Cong-Encryption tab.
Authentication Type
The authentication type methods include:
PEAP:
PEAP (Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol) authentication is a
version of Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP). EAP ensures mutual authentication
between a wireless client and a server that
resides at the network operations center.
TLS/Smart Card:
TLS (Transport Layer
Security) authentication is used to create an encrypted tunnel and achieve
server-side authentication in a manner similar to Web server authentication
using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This method uses digital
certicates to verify the identity of a client and server.
TTLS:
TTLS authentication uses certicates to authenticate the server, while
maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication
and a shared condentiality for session WEP key.
LEAP:
LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication is a
version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual
authentication between a wireless client and a server that resides at the
network operations center.
Md5-challenge:
Md5-challenge is a one-way encryption algorithm that uses
usernames and passwords. This method does not support key management,
but require a preset key.
