Cloudpath Networks - WPA2 & 802.1X with PEAP

WPA2 & 802.1X with PEAP

Protected EAP (PEAP) has become the most widely used EAP method for 802.1X and WPA2-Enterprise. With authentication based on the user's username and password, PEAP enables 802.1X and WPA2-Enterprise without the need for client certificates. Due to its native support in all common operating systems, PEAP is the first choice when the user directory supports it. If your user directory is Microsoft Active Directory, PEAP is your best choice. If you use an LDAP directory, you may be able to use PEAP.

XpressConnect's support for PEAP is consistent across the wide array of operating systems and device types supported by XpressConnect.

Key Features for PEAP Include:

The ability to configure WPA2 wireless profiles and 802.1X wired profiles.

The ability to install root certificate authorities (root CAs) for PEAP server certificate validation.

The ability to control user authentication vs. machine authentication.

The ability to configure single sign-on capabilities.

The ability to provide a foolproof authentication process.
