TLS (EAP-TLS)
EAP-TLS is a protocol that is based on the TLS (Transport Layer Security)
protocol widely used to secure web sites. This requires both the user and
authentication server have certificates for mutual authentication. While
cryptically strong, this requires corporations that deploy this to maintain a
certificate infrastructure for all their users.
Use “TLS” to configure the use of EAP-TLS as an authentication protocol,
and select either “Open” or “WPA” as an association mode.
To Enable TLS with an Open Association
1
Set 8021x Security as “TLS.”
2
Set Association to “Open.”
3
Skip Encryption as it is automatically set to “WEP.” See page 372 for
information about WEP encryption.
4
Enter your unique Subject Name and User Name to use this protocol.
5
Tap Get Certificates to obtain or import server certificates. See page
388 for more information.
6
Tap Additional Settings to set options for server certificate validation
and trust. See page 384 for more information.
