Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication

IEEE 802.1X is an authentication function that can be used with both wired and wireless networks.
Authentication is performed by the authentication server (RADIUS server).
You can select four types of EAP authentication method: EAP-TLS, LEAP, EAP-TTLS and PEAP. Note that
each EAP authentication method has different configuration settings and authentication procedures.
Types and requirements of certificates are as follows:
EAP type
EAP-TLS
LEAP
EAP-TTLS
PEAP
PEAP (Phase 2 is for TLS
only)

Installing a Site Certificate

Install a site certificate (root CA certificate), which checks the reliability of the authentication server. You
need to have at least a certificate that is signed by a certificate authority who signed the server certificate
or a certificate from an upper level certificate authority.
1. Log in as the network administrator from Web Image Monitor.
2. Point to [Device Management], and then click [Configuration].
3. Click [Site Certificate] under "Security".
4. Click [Browse] on the "Site Certificate to Import" window, and then select the CA
certificate you obtained.
5. Click [Open].
6. Click [Import].
7. Check that the imported certificate's [Status] shows "Trustworthy".
If [Site Certificate Check] shows [Active], and the [Status] of the certificate shows [Untrustworthy],
communication might not be possible.
8. Click [OK].
9. Log out.
