Chapter 7 PEAP/EAP-TLS Configuration Scenario

Step 3: Specify EAP-TLS Options

Step 3 Specify the protocols to use with the PEAP protocol. They are:

•EAP_MSCHAP2

•EAP-GTC

Step 4 If you want to enable posture validation on this ACS installation, check the Enable Posture Validation check box.

Step 3: Specify EAP-TLS Options

Specify one or more of the certificate comparison options for EAP-TLS:

•Certificate SAN Comparison—Based on the name in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field in the user certificate.

•Certificate CN Comparison—Based on the name in the Subject Common Name (CN) field in the user certificate.

•Certificate Binary Comparison—Based on a binary comparison between the user certificate in the user object in the LDAP server or Active Directory and the certificate that the user presents during EAP-TLS authentication. You cannot use this comparison method to authenticate users in an ODBC external user database.

Step 4: (Optional) Configure Authentication Policy

You can enable EAP-TLS when you set up an authentication policy in the protocols section of Network Access Profile configuration.
