EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length strings as inputs. An on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.

LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication information securely in a wireless network environment.

LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates, and is therefore one of the least secure EAP security methods. However, it can be utilized successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.

EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.
