IEEE 802.1x
In June 2001, the IEEE 802.1x standard was designed to extend the features of IEEE 802.11 to support extended
authentication as well as providing additional accounting and control features. It is supported by Windows XP and a
number of network devices. Some advantages of IEEE 802.1x are:
•
User based identification that allows for roaming.
•
Support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138, 2139) for centralized user profile and
accounting management on a network RADIUS server.
•
Support for EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, RFC 2486) that allows additional authentication methods to be
deployed with no changes to the access point or the wireless stations.
RADIUS
RADIUS is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting. The access point is
the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks:
•
Authentication
Determines the identity of the users.
•
Authorization
Determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the network.
•
Accounting
Keeps track of the client‘s network activity.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless station and the
network RADIUS server.
