3.2.1.3802.1x Setting-Certification

Parameter

Description

Authentication Type

The EAP authentication protocols this card has supported are

 

included as follows. This setting has to be consistent with the

 

wireless APs or Routers that the card intends to connect.

 

PEAP &TTLS – PEAP and TTLS are similar and easier than TLS

 

in that they specify a stand-alone authentication protocol be used

 

within an encrypted tunnel. TTLS supports any protocol within its

 

tunnel, including CHAP, MS-CHAP, MS-CHAPv2, PAP and

 

EAP-MD5. PEAP specifies that an EAP-compliant authentication

 

protocol must be used; this card supports EAP-MSCHAP v2,

 

EAP-TLS/Smart card and Generic Token Card. The client

 

certificate is optional required for the authentication.

 

TLS/Smart Card –TLS is the most secure of the EAP protocols

 

but not easy to use. It requires that digital certificates be

 

exchanged in the authentication phase. The server presents a

 

certificate to the client. After validating the server’s certificate, the

 

client presents a client certificate to the server for validation.

 

MD5-ChallengeMD5-Challenge is the easiest EAP Type. It

 

requires the wireless station to enter a set of user name and

 

password as the identity to RADIUS Server.

Session Resumption

There are “Disabled”, “Reauthentication”, “Roaming”, “SameSsid”

 

and “Always” selections for you to choose whether to recovery the

 

session in different status.

Identity

Enter the name as the identity for the server.

Password

Enter the password as the identity for the server.

Use Client Certificate

A client certificate is required for TLS, and is optional for TTLS and

 

PEAP. This forces a client certificate to be selected from the

 

appropriate Windows Certificate Store and made available to the

 

RADIUS server for certification.

Parameter

Description

Tunneled Authentication

 

Protocol

When the authentication type is PEAP or TTLS, select a protocol

 

to be used to build the encrypted tunnel.
