Authentication Type; Tunneled Authentication - Motorola MT2070 User Manual

Authentication Type

Select an available authentication type from the drop-down list. The options listed in the drop-down list are based
on the selected Security Mode as shown in
The authentication types, other than None, all use IEEE 802.1x authentication to ensure that only valid users and
sometimes servers can connect to the network. Each authentication type uses a different scheme using various
combinations of tunnels, username/passwords, user certificates, server certificates and Protected Access
Credentials (PACs).
Authentication Options
Table 2-8
Authentication
None Use this setting when authentication is not required on the network.
EAP-TLS Select this option to enable EAP-TLS authentication. A user certificate is required; validating the
server certificate is optional.
EAP-FAST Select this option to enable EAP-FAST authentication. This type uses a PAC (Protected Access
Credential) to establish a tunnel and then uses the selected tunnel type to verify credentials.
PACs are handled behind the scenes, transparently to the user. Automatic PAC provisioning can,
depending on the tunnel type, require a user certificate and the validation of a server certificate.
Manual PAC provisioning is currently not supported.
PEAP Select this option to enable PEAP authentication. This type establishes a tunnel and then based
on the tunnel type, uses a user certificate and/or a username/password. Validating the server
certificate is optional.
LEAP Select this option to enable LEAP authentication. This type does not establish a tunnel. It
requires a username and password.
TTLS Select this option to enable TTLS authentication. This type establishes a tunnel and then based
on the tunnel type, uses a user certificate and/or a username/password. Validating the server
certificate is optional.
Tab to Next > and press ENT. Selecting PEAP, TTLS or EAP-FAST displays the Tunneled Authentication Type
dialog. Selecting None displays the Encryption dialog. Selecting EAP-TLS displays the Installed User Certs dialog.
Selecting LEAP displays the User Name dialog.
