TTLS(E AP-Tunneled TLS)
This protocol provides authenticationlike EAP-TLS (see page 382) but
does notrequire certificates for every user. Instead, authentication servers
are issued certificates. User authentication is done using a password or oth-
er credentials that are transported in a secur ely encrypted “tunnel” estab-
lished using server certificates.
EAP-TTLS works by creatinga secure, encrypted tunnel through w hich
you present your credentials to the authentication server. Thus, inside
EAP-TTLS there is anotherinner authentication protocol that you must
configure via Additional Settings.
