An Example for MD5 Authentication

3.2.1.2 802.1x Setting-Certification

Parameter
Authentication Type
Description
The EAP authentication protocols this card has supported are
included as follows. This setting has to be consistent with the
wireless APs or Routers that the card intends to connect.
PEAP &TTLS – PEAP and TTLS are similar and easier than
TLS in that they specify a stand-alone authentication protocol
be used within an encrypted tunnel. TTLS supports any
protocol within its tunnel, including CHAP, MS-CHAP,
MS-CHAPv2, PAP and EAP-MD5. PEAP specifies that an
EAP-compliant authentication protocol must be used; this card
supports EAP-MSCHAP v2, EAP-TLS/Smart card and Generic
Token Card. The client certificate is optional required for the
authentication.
TLS/Smart Card –TLS is the most secure of the EAP protocols
but not easy to use. It requires that digital certificates be
exchanged in the authentication phase. The server presents a
certificate to the client. After validating the server's certificate,
the client presents a client certificate to the server for
validation.
MD5-Challenge – MD5-Challenge is the easiest EAP Type. It
requires the wireless station to enter a set of user name and
password as the identity to RADIUS Server.
