3.4.5 802.1x with PEAP

802.1X provides an authentication framework for wireless LANs allowing a user

to be authenticated by a central authority. 802.1X uses an existing protocol called

EAP. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an extension to the PPP

protocol that enables a variety of authentication protocols to be used. It passes

through the exchange of authentication messages, allowing the authentication

software stored in a server to interact with its counterpart in the client.

3.4.5.1 PEAP Authentication with EAP/TLS Smartcard

EAP/TLS Smartcard 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.

h Authentication Type: Select PEAP from the drop-down list.

h Protocol: If your network uses TLS or Smart Card to authenticate its users,

select TLS/Smartcard from the drop down list. TLS (Transport Layer

Security) is an IETF standardized authentication protocol that uses PKI

(Public Key Infrastructure) certificate-based authentication of both the client

and authentication server.

h Identity: Enter the user name.
