DESCRIPTION
Enter the anonymous identity provided by your Internet Service
Provider. Anonymous identity (also known as outer identity) is used
with EAP-TTLS encryption. The anonymous identity is used to route
your authentication request to the correct authentication server,
and does not reveal your real user name. Your real user name and
password are encrypted in the TLS tunnel, and only the anonymous
identity can be seen.
Leave this field blank if your ISP did not give you an anonymous
identity to use.
This field displays the Privacy Key Management version number.
PKM provides security between the WiMAX Device and the base
station. At the time of writing, the WiMAX Device supports PKMv2
only. See the WiMAX security appendix for more information.
This field displays the user authentication method. Authentication is
the process of confirming the identity of a mobile station (by means
of a username and password, for example).
Check with your service provider if you are unsure of the correct
setting for your account.
Choose from the following user authentication methods:
• TTLS (Tunnelled Transport Layer Security)
• TLS (Transport Layer Security)
Note: Not all WiMAX Devices support TLS authentication.
Check with your service provider for details.
This field displays the type of secondary authentication method.
Once a secure EAP-TTLS connection is established, the inner EAP is
the protocol used to exchange security information between the
mobile station, the base station and the AAA server to authenticate
the mobile station. See the WiMAX security appendix for more
details.
This field is available only when TTLS is selected in the
Authentication field.
The WiMAX Device supports the following inner authentication
types:
• CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
• MSCHAP (Microsoft CHAP)
• MSCHAPV2 (Microsoft CHAP version 2)
• PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
