2.6.4 Configuring EAP-TLS Support
The Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Level Security (EAP-TLS)
feature affords access points and their associated MU’s an additional
measure of security for data transmitted over the Spectrum24 wireless
network. Using EAP-TLS, authentication between devices is achieved through
the exchange and verification of certificates. EAP-TLS can be used in mixed
mode security support with Kerberos and WEP when 128-bit WEP is used.
EAP-TLS is only supported on mobile devices running Windows XP. The
EAP-TLS program is required to run on a Windows 2000 Server. Refer to the
system administrator for information on configuring a Windows 2000 Server
for EAP-TLS support.
EAP-TLS is a mutual authentication method whereby both the MU and access
point are required to prove their identities. Like Kerberos, the user loses
device authentication if the server cannot provide proof of device
identification.
To configure for EAP-TLS support for a Spectrum24 access point:
1. Select Configure EAP-TLS from the Security Configurations field of the
Special Functions menu.
