3. Choose which authentication methods you want to use to authorize

the access point to communicate with the network. The authenticatin
methods are described below:

Allow SWAP

Determines if this access point authenticates to other access
points using an EAP-MD5 challenge.

Allow TLS

If the authentication server offers the TLS protocol for the
authentication method, this check box determines if this access
point can use its client certificate to authenticate to the network.

Allow TTLS (MSCHAPv2)

If the authentication server offers the TTLS protocol for the
authentication method, this check box determines if this access
point uses a login to authenticate to the network. This login must
be in the authentication server database.

Preferred Protocol

If TLS and TTLS are enabled, this field specifies which protocol is
sent to the authentication server when it sends an unsupported
protocol.

User Name (TTLS)

Enter the user name of the access point when it uses TTLS to
authenticate to the network.

Password (TTLS)

Enter the password of the access point when it uses TTLS to
authenticate to the network.

Verify CA Certificate

Determines if you want to verify that the access point is
connected to the correct authentication server. The server
certificate signature is verified against the CA certificate and the
server common name is verified against the authentication server
common names that are configured in the access point.

Authentication Server 1 Common Name

Enter the common name of the authentication server.

Authentication Server 2 Common Name

Enter the common name of the backup authentication server.

4. (Optional) Check the Verify CA Certificate check box and enter the

authentication server common names if you want to verify the access
point is connecting to the correct authentication server.
