Config - Authentication

This tab allows you to set the security settings to match those of your AP. It is

configurable only if you have set Network Authentication to WPA or WPA2 in

Config-Encryption tab.

Authentication Type

The authentication type methods include:

PEAP: PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication

Protocol) authentication is a version of Extensible

Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures

mutual authentication between a wireless

client and a server that resides at the network

operations center.

TLS/Smart Card: TLS (Transport Layer Security)

authentication is used to create an encrypted

tunnel and achieve server-side authentication in a manner similar to Web server

authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This method uses

digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and server.

TTLS: TTLS authentication uses certificates to authenticate the server, while

maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication and a

shared confidentiality for session WEP key.

LEAP: LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication is a version

of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual authentication

between a wireless client and a server that resides at the network operations

center.

Md-challenge: Md5-challenge is a one-way encryption algorithm that uses

usernames and passwords. This method does not support key management, but

require a preset key.
