Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuring a WLAN
Configuring Encryption for a WLAN that Uses Web-Auth. Web-Auth
occurs after a station connects to the WLAN and, by itself, provides no
encryption.
To protect the users’ data within the wireless network, you can add WEP or
WPA/WPA2 encryption. In this case, users must first enter a WEP or WPA key
to connect to the WLAN. Then, when they attempt to access a Web site, they
must submit their username and password for Web-Auth.
See “Web-Auth” on page 4-39 or Chapter 5: “Web Authentication for Mobile
Users” for instructions on configuring the authentication. After selecting Web-
Auth in a WLAN’s Edit screen, you have several choices for which boxes in the
Encryption section to check. Table 4-6 summarizes these options and refers you
to section that explains how to configure the second security option.

specialized settings for a WLAN.
