In EAP-TLS, the authentication server selects the cipher
suite to use from the list of supported suites sent by the
client device (or rejects the authentication request if none of
the proposed suites are acceptable).
TLS Cipher does not
apply to EAP-MD5 authentication.
EAP Protocols - specifies the EAP type(s) the Bridge can
use to authenticate 802.1X supplicant credentials:
EAP-MD5 - (default selection) permits the Bridge to
authenticate a supplicant using an MD5 hash of the
user’s password.
EAP-TLS - when there is a valid EAP-TLS certificate in
the Bridge’s local certificate store (refer to Section 6.2),
permits the Bridge to authenticate a supplicant using
public key cryptography.
