Conî ´guring IEEE 802.1X Authentication
0X7U-04J
The machine can connect to an 802.1X network as a client device. A typical 802.1X network consists of a RADIUS server
(authentication server), LAN switch (authenticator), and client devices with authentication software (supplicants). If a
device tries to connect to the 802.1X network, the device must go through user authentication in order to prove that
the connection is made by an authorized user. Authentication information is sent to and checked by a RADIUS server,
which permits or rejects communication to the network depending on the authentication result. If authentication fails,
a LAN switch (or an access point) blocks access from the outside of the network.
Select the authentication method from the options below. If necessary, install or register a key pair or CA certiî ´cate
before conî ´guring IEEE 802.1X authentication ( Using CA-issued Key Pairs and Digital Certiî ´cates(P. 326) ).
TLS
The machine and the authentication server authenticate each other by mutually verifying their certiî ´cates. A
key pair issued by a certiî ´cation authority (CA) is required for the client authentication (when authenticating the
machine). For the server authentication, a CA certiî ´cate installed via the Remote UI can be used in addition to a
CA certiî ´cate preinstalled in the machine.
TTLS
This authentication method uses a user name and password for the client authentication and a CA certiî ´cate for
the server authentication. MSCHAPv2 or PAP can be selected as the internal protocol. TTLS can be used with
PEAP at the same time. Enable TLS for the Remote UI before conî ´guring this authentication method (
Using
TLS for Encrypted Communications(P. 294) ).
PEAP
The required settings are almost the same as those of TTLS. MS-CHAPv2 is used as the internal protocol. Enable
TLS for the Remote UI before conî ´guring this authentication method ( Using TLS for Encrypted
Communications(P. 294) ).
