802.1x configuration
To configure the network connections:
NOTE:
Currently, 802.1x configuration by using the Enable802 INI parameter is supported only for Wired connections and
supported authentications are EAP-PEAP (MSCHAPv2) and EAP-TLS using SCEP.
● Supported seamless 802.1x authentication works with Linux thin clients by using Active Directory domain user
credentials for EAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication, see EAP PEAP MSCHAPv2 Authentication Workflow.
● EAP-TLS is certificate-based authentication which uses SCEP for certificate enrollment, see EAP TLS Authentication
Workflow.
The following diagram depicts communication between the components in an 802.1x Linux thin client solution.
