802.1X SETTING
802.1x is a authentication for "WPA" and "WPA2" certificate to server.
AUTHENTICATION TYPE :
A. PEAP : Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunneling
between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side
certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN.
B. TLS/Smart Card : Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and mutual authentication of the client and the
network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to dynamically
generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent communications between the WLAN client and
the access point.
C. TTLS : Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security method provides for certificate- based, mutual authentication of
the client and network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side certificates.
D. EAP-FAST : Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. It was developed by Cisco. Instead of using a certificate,
mutual authentication is achieved by means of a PAC (Protected Access Credential) which can be managed dynamically by
the authentication server. The PAC can be provisioned (distributed one time) to the client either manually or automatically.
Manual provisioning is delivery to the client via disk or a secured network distribution method. Automatic provisioning is an
in-band, over the air, distribution. For tunnel authentication, only support "Generic Token Card" authentication now.
E. LEAP : Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP authentication type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It
encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual authentication.
F. MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge. Challenge is an EAP authentication type that provides base-level EAP
support. It provides for only one-way authentication - there is
no mutual authentication of wireless client and the network.
Session Resumption : user can choose "Disable" and "Enable". Tunnel
