Configuring Kerberos Authentication
Kerberos (designed and developed by MIT) provides strong authentication for client/server
applications using secret-key cryptography. Using Kerberos, a client must prove its identity to a server
(and vice versa) across an insecure network connection.
Once a client and server use Kerberos to prove their identity, they can encrypt all communications to
assure privacy and data integrity. Kerberos can only be used on the access point with Motorola 802.11b
clients.
CAUTION
Kerberos makes no provisions for host security. Kerberos assumes that it is running on a trusted host with
an untrusted network. If host security is compromised, Kerberos is compromised as well
Kerberos uses the
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
for synchronizing the clocks of its
Key Distribution Center
(KDC) server(s)
. Use the
NTP Servers
screen to specify the IP addresses and ports of available NTP
WPA/WPA2 TKIP
Select the
WPA/WPA2 TKIP
button to display the
WPA/
TKIP Settings
field within the New Security Policy screen.
For specific information on configuring WPA/WPA2 TKIP,
see
“Configuring WPA/WPA2 Using TKIP” on page 183
.
WPA2/CCMP
(802.11i)
Select the
WPA2/CCMP (802.11)
button to display the
WPA2/CCMP Settings
field within the New Security Policy
screen. For detailed information on configuring WPA2/
CCMP, see
“Configuring WPA2-CCMP (802.11i)” on
page 185
