EAP Security & Server Certificates - Overview

The following EAP types all support a server certificate: EAP-PEAP

EAP-TTLS

EAP-TLS

All three of these certificate-using security methods are documented in the following sections. EAP Authentication goes a step beyond just encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of credentials be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network (FIG. 86). Below is a description of this process. It is important to note that there is no user intervention necessary during this process. It proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel.

FIG. 86 EAP security method in process

A server certificate file uses a certificate that is installed in a panel so that the RADIUS server can be validated before the panel tries to connect to it. The field name associated with this file is Certificate Authority.
