Create a Profile with WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise Network
Authentication
WPA2-Enterprise requires an authentication server.
WPA-Enterprise: A wireless security method that provides strong data protection for multiple users and
large managed networks. It uses the 802.1X authentication framework with TKIP or AES-CCMP encryption
and prevents unauthorized network access by verifying network users through an authentication server.
WPA2-Enterprise: The follow-on wireless security method to WPA that provides stronger data protection
for multiple users and large managed networks. It prevents unauthorized network access by verifying
network users through an authentication server.
NOTE: WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are interoperable.
To add a profile that uses WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise authentication:
1. Obtain a user name and password on the RADIUS server from your administrator.
2. Certain Authentication Types require that you obtain and install a client certificate. See Create a Profile with
TLS authentication or consult your administrator.
