EAP Authentication
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol which runs on the
top of IEEE 802.1x transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user
authentication. By using EAP to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an access
point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server perform authentication.
The type of authentication you use depends on the RADIUS server and an intermediary
AP that supports IEEE 802.1X. You must first have a wired connection to the network and
obtain the certificate from a certificate authority (CA). A certificate can be used to
authenticate users and a CA issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each
certificate owner.
