31.1.2 802.1X Single Sign-On
802.1X Single Sign-On allows the Zyxel Device to use the same username and password for 802.1X WiFi
authentication and web authentication. When enabled, a user logs into a WiFi network on the Zyxel
Device that has 802.1X (WPA Enterprise) enabled. The Zyxel Device then reuses the 802.1X username
and password for web authentication, preventing the user from having to log in twice.
Note: Active Directory Single Sign-On takes priority over 802.1X Single Sign-On, if both are
enabled.
31.1.3 Summary of User Authentication Methods
The following table summarizes how users authenticate with the Zyxel Device when web authentication
