Configuring EAP-MD5
Benefits and
Purpose
EAP-MD5 validates the identity of devices or users before they gain
access to network resources. You can configure the SND Server for
the EAP-MD5 network authentication. This makes sure that the SND
Server gets access to protected networks.
Mode of Operation
EAP-MD5 describes a user-based authentication method via a
RADIUS server. The SND Server must be defined as user (with user
name and password) on a RADIUS server. The authentication method
EAP-MD5 must then be enabled on the SND Server and the user
name and password need to be entered.
Requirements
; The SND Server is defined as user (with user name and password)
on a RADIUS server.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the mySND Control Center.
2. Select SECURITY – Authentication.
3. Select MD5 from the Authentication method list.
4. Enter the user name and the password that are used for the
configuration of the SND Server on the RADIUS server.
5. Click Save & Restart to confirm.
ª The settings will be saved.
Configuring EAP-TLS
Benefits and
Purpose
EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) validates the identity of devices
or users before they gain access to network resources. You can
configure the SND Server for the EAP-TLS network authentication.
This makes sure that the SND Server gets access to protected
networks.
Mode of Operation
EAP-TLS describes a certificate-based authentication method via a
RADIUS server. For this purpose, certificates are exchanged between
the SND Server and the RADIUS server. An encrypted TLS connection
between the SND Server and the RADIUS server is established in this
process. Both RADIUS server and SND Server need a valid, digital
