Description
A - Authentication Method Zero or more per
service
EAP or non-EAP method for client authentication.
Policy Manager supports four broad classes of authentication
m ethods:
l EAP, tunneled: PEAP, EAP-FAST, or EAP-TTLS.
l EAP, non-tunneled: EAP-TLS or EAP-MD5.
l Non-EAP, non-tunneled: CHAP, MS-CHAP, P AP, or MAC-
AUTH.
l MAC_AUTH must be used exclusively in a MAC-based
Authentication Service. When the MAC_AUTH method is
selected, Policy Manager: (1) makes internal checks to
verify that the request is indeed a MAC Authentication
request (and not a spoofed request) and (2) makes sure
that the MAC address of the device is present in the
authentication source.
