9.4 How to Configure PEAP
Benefits and
Purpose
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) validates the
identity of devices or users before they gain access to network
resources. You can configure the print server for the PEAP network
authentication. This makes sure that the print server gets access to
protected networks.
Basic Functions In the case of PEAP (compare EAP-TTLS; see
Ö
91), an encrypted
TLS (Transport Layer Security) channel is established between the
print server and the RADIUS server. Only the RADIUS server
authenticates itself using a certificate that was signed by a CA.
The TLS channel is then used to establish another connection that
can be protected by means of additional EAP authentication
methods (e.g. MSCHAPv2).
The advantage of this procedure is that only the RADIUS server
needs a certificate. Therefore no PKI is needed. PEAP uses the
advantages of TLS and supports various authentication methods,
including user passwords and one-time passwords.
Requirements
;
The print server is defined as user (with user name and password)
on a RADIUS server.
