Understanding Authentication Types
This section describes the authentication types that you can configure on the WMIC. The authentication
types are tied to the service set identifier (SSID) that you configure on the WMIC.
Before wireless devices can communicate, they must authenticate to each other using open,
802.1x/Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-based or shared key authentication. Among these
authentication types, for maximum security, wireless devices should authenticate using EAP
authentication, which relies on an authentication server on the network. The supplicant and the back-end
RADIUS authenticate each other using the certificates for each other that are obtained from the same
CA server.
The WMIC uses four authentication mechanisms or types and can use more than one at the same time:
•
Open Authentication to the WMIC, page 2
•
Shared Key Authentication to the WMIC, page 2
•
EAP Authentication to the Network, page 3
•
MAC Address Authentication to the Network, page 6
