Valid Wi-Fi EAP security configurations
EAP (WPA/WPA2 Enterprise) is a Wi-Fi authentication
method involving three parties:
• Client cobas pulse
• Access Point (Router)
• Authentication Server (RADIUS)
Their interconnectivity is as follows:
1. The client connects to the access point.
2. The access point connects to the authentication
server, and acts like a proxy between the client and
authentication server.
3. The authentication server tries to authenticate the
client.
4. If the authentication is successful, the access point
grants the client access to the network. If
authentication fails, the access point rejects the
client.
Supported EAP methods are as follows:
EAP-TLS
Authentication is based on digital
certificates. The client and
authentication server must both have
valid certificates, recognized by each
other.
EAP-TTLS
Authentication is based on user name
and password. The client must have a
valid account on the authentication
server.
EAP-PEAP
Authentication is based on user name
and password. The client must have a
valid account on the authentication
server.
From a configuration perspective, the EAP-TTLS and
EAP-PEAP methods are identical.
