Figure 4-7. Add Profile Screen - TTLS Authentication
The Authentication tab on the Add Profile screen displays the following items:
Enable Authentication — Enables user authentication for connection to the
network.
EAP Method — Selects the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method to
use for authentication. When EAP-TTLS or EAP-TLS is selected, the appropriate
parameters need to be configured.
• EAP-TTLS-MSCHAPV2 — Tunneled Transport Layer Security with Microsoft’s
version 2 of CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol). This security
method provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and
network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only
server-side certificates. The MS-CHAP protocol requires a user name and
password to be configured. The user name and password can be up to 50
characters. (The following characters are not permitted; /\|”?@#$%^&*():;<>,. )
- User name: A text string used by the authentication server to identify the user.
- Password: A password used by the authentication server to protect identity.
