Page 130: Required Network Configuration Information Worksheets
Required Network Configuration Information Worksheets Because AEGIS Client enables your terminal to access a network that is protected by the IEEE 802.1X protocol, you must configure EAP data communication to match your network server parameters. If the EAP configuration doesn’t match your network configuration, you can’t access the network.
Page 131 TLS/SmartCard Worksheet To configure AEGIS Client to use TLS/SmartCard authentication, you need to know: 1. Is a client certificate required? ____ No. ____ Yes. This file needs to be installed on your machine by your network administrator. 2. Should the AEGIS Client validate the server certificate chain? ____ No.

Port Settings area - enables you to configure Network Properties settings for individual wireless networks and is accessed from the Port menu.
Page 142 Client Configuration Area Each user account needs to define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. Because Windows Mobile devices are usually small devices with a single NIC and, usually, a single user, the initial configuration is usually the only time the software needs to be set up.

Page 160 How 802.1X Works The network elements in the above graphics are those involved in a typical wireless LAN. When 802.1X is running, a wireless device must authenticate itself with the access point in order to get access to the Existing LAN. With respect to the terms used in the 802.1X standard, access points (APs) function as authenticators and wireless devices function as supplicants.
Page 161 The RADIUS server can then act as a central repository of user profile information. Such use of a centralized authentication server allows the user to access wireless LANs at many different points, but still be authenticated against the same server. In response to the Access-Request, the RADIUS server sends an Access-Challenge to the AP, which is then relayed in the form of an EAP-Request to the device.
Page 162 Benefits of 802.1X Central User Administration The Client allows network administrators to continue to use RADIUS or another AAA server as their centralized authentication server. In 802.11b, where authentication took place between the access point and the station, there was no concept of passing credentials from the access point to an authentication server.
Page 163 Cisco LEAP The message exchange used by Cisco LEAP is proprietary. This protocol is not a standard EAP type, but is supported by the Client through a licensing arrangement with Cisco. Relative Merits of Authentication Protocols MD5 is the least secure of the EAP protocols as it only does a one-way authentication, and does not support automatic distribution and rotation of WEP keys, increasing the administrative burden of manual WEP key maintenance.
