Also known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/password based authentication
between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot
pass through a wireless network access point until it successfully authenticates itself.
Performs secure authentication against Windows domains and directory services. It is
comparable to EAP-TTLS both in its method of operation and its security, though not as
flexible. This does not support the range of inside-the-tunnel authentication methods
supported by EAP-TTLS. Microsoft and Cisco both support this protocol.
Based on the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol widely used to secure web sites. This
requires both the user and authentication server have certificates for mutual
authentication. While cryptically strong, this requires corporations that deploy this to
maintain a certificate infrastructure for all their users.
This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS (see
certificates for every user. Instead, authentication servers are issued certificates. User
authentication is done using a password or other credentials that are transported in a
securely encrypted "tunnel" established using server certificates.
EAP-TTLS works by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel through which you present your
credentials to the authentication server. Thus, inside EAP-TTLS there is another inner
authentication protocol that you must configure via Additional TTLS Settings.
Use the SmartSystems Foundation (www.intermec.com/SmartSystems) to
configure and manage your network. You can also contact your Intermec
representative for support.
This tool, available as a free download from Intermec, includes a
management console that provides a default method to configure and
manage Intermec devices "out-of-the-box," without the purchase of
additional software licenses. This is for anyone who must configure and
deploy multiple devices or manage multiple licenses.
Use Intermec Settings to perform device configuration settings within the
SmartSystems Foundation. For more information, see the Intermec
Computer Command Reference Manual.
