Type Select the type of authentication. In this context, select EAP_FAST.
Session
Resumption
Caches EAP-FAST sessions on Policy Manager for reuse if the user/end-host reconnects to Policy
Manager within the session timeout interval. By default, this option is enabled.
Session
Timeout
Caches EAP-FAST sessions on Policy Manager for reuse if the user/end-host reconnects to Policy
Manager within the session timeout interval. If session timeout value is set to 0, then the cached
sessions are not purged.
Fast
Reconnect
Enable this check box to allow fast reconnect. When Fast Reconnect is enabled, the inner method
of the server-authenticated outer tunnel is also bypassed. This makes the process of re-
authentication faster. For the fast reconnect to work, session resumption must be enabled.
