Authentication Options
Authentication Description
None Default setting when authentication is not required on the network.
EAP-TLS Select this option to enable EAP-TLS authentication. EAP-TLS is an authentication
scheme through IEEE 802.1x. It authenticates users and ensures only valid users can
connect to the network. It also restricts unauthorized users from accessing transmitted
information by using secure authentication certificates.
PEAP Select this option to enable PEAP authentication. This method uses a digital certificate
to verify and authenticate a user's identity.
LEAP Select this option to enable LEAP authentication, which is based on mutual
authentication. The AP and the connecting mobile computer require authentication
before gaining access to the network.
TTLS Select this option to enable TTLS authentication.
