EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in
both wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication
Server, also known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length
strings as inputs. An on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication
information securely in a wireless network environment.
LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates, and is therefore
one of the least secure EAP security methods. However, it can be utilized
successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.
EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate
validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless
network.
