Using Host-Based EAP
Before you can enable host-based EAP authentication, your network devices must meet the following
requirements:
•
The Windows CE device must be a PPC 2002 device.
Note
Support for EAP-TLS and PEAP authentication will be available for Windows CE .NET
devices in a future release.
•
Client adapters must support WEP, and firmware version 5.02.19 or greater is recommended.
•
Access points to which your client adapter will attempt to authenticate must use the following
firmware versions or greater: 11.23T (340 and 350 series access points), 12.2(4)JA (1100 series
access points), or 11.54T (1200 series access points).
•
All necessary infrastructure devices (for example, access points, servers, gateways, user databases,
etc.) must be properly configured for the authentication type you plan to enable on the client.
