Unlike 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication, the Mobility Conductor does not manage the authentication process directly in stateful authentication. Instead, the Mobility Conductor monitors the authentication messages between a user and an external authentication server, then assigns a role to that user based upon the information in those authentication messages.
