Authentication Methods	The authentication methods available for this service depend on the 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. supplicants and the type of authentication methods you choose to deploy. Policy Manager propopulates this field with the following common authentication methods for this service type. EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication protocol for wireless networks that extends the methods used by the PPP, a protocol often used when connecting a computer to the Internet. EAP can support multiple authentication mechanisms, such as token cards, smart cards, certificates, one-time passwords, and public key encryption authentication. PEAP Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP is a type of EAP communication that addresses security issues associated with clear text EAP transmissions by creating a secure channel encrypted and protected by TLS.

EAP can support multiple authentication mechanisms, such as token cards, smart cards, certificates, one-time passwords, and public key encryption authentication. FAST EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication protocol for wireless networks that extends the methods used by the PPP, a protocol often used when connecting a computer to the Internet. EAP can support multiple authentication mechanisms, such as token cards, smart cards, certificates, one-time passwords, and public key encryption authentication. TLS Transport Layer Security. TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides communication security over the Internet. TLS encrypts the segments of network connections above the Transport Layer by using asymmetric cryptography for key exchange, symmetric encryption for privacy, and message authentication codes for message integrity. with CN Common Name. CN is the primary name used to identify a certificate. Check EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol.

TTLS EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication protocol for wireless networks that extends the methods used by the PPP, a protocol often used when connecting a computer to the Internet. EAP can support multiple authentication mechanisms, such as token cards, smart cards, certificates, one-time passwords, and public key encryption authentication. MSCHAPv2 Click the Select to Add field to add an additional authentication method. To remove an authentication method, select it then click Remove. The EAP-MD5 authentication type is not supported if you use Policy Manager in FIPS mode. The order of authentication is significant, when a client tries to perform an 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. Policy Manager proposes the first authentication method configured. However, the client can accept the authentication method proposed by Policy Manager and continue authentication or send a Negative-Acknowledgment (NAK Negative Acknowledgement. NAK is a response indicating that a transmitted message was received with errors or it was corrupted, or that the receiving end is not ready to accept transmissions.) and propose a different authentication method. If the newly proposed authentication method is also configured, then the authentication proceeds, otherwise authentication fails. If most of the clients in the network use a specific authentication method, that authentication method should be configured first in the list. This would reduce the number of RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. An Industry-standard network access protocol for remote authentication.
