The Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Level Security (EAP-TLS) feature affords access points and their associated MU’s an additional measure of security for data transmitted over the Spectrum24 wireless network. Using EAP-TLS, authentication between devices is achieved through the exchange and verification of certificates. EAP-TLS can be used in mixed mode security support with Kerberos and WEP when 128-bit WEP is used.
EAP-TLS is only supported on mobile devices running Windows XP. The EAP-TLS program is required to run on a Windows 2000 Server. Refer to the system administrator for information on configuring a Windows 2000 Server for EAP-TLS support.
EAP-TLS is a mutual authentication method whereby both the MU and access point are required to prove their identities. Like Kerberos, the user loses device authentication if the server cannot provide proof of device identification.
To configure for EAP-TLS support for a Spectrum24 access point:
1.Select Configure EAP-TLSfrom the Security Configurations field of the Special Functions menu.
