3.2.3.7802.1x – TLS, TTLS

802.1X provides an authentication framework for wireless LANs allowing a user to be authenticated by a central authority. 802.1X uses an existing protocol called EAP. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables a variety of authentication protocols to be used. It passes through the exchange of authentication messages, allowing the authentication software stored in a server to interact with its counterpart in the client.

Select the 802.1x radio button, and then select EAP – TLS or EAP – TTLS from the drop-down list. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an IETF standardized authentication protocol that uses PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) certificate- based authentication of both the client and authentication server.

Click on the Configure button to configure the TTLS settings.
