Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication

The machine can connect to an 802.1X network as a client device. A typical 802.1X network consists of a RADIUS server (authentication
server), LAN switch (authenticator), and client devices with authentication software (supplicants). If a device tries to connect to the
802.1X network, the device must go through user authentication in order to prove that the connection is made by an authorized user.
Authentication information is sent to and checked by a RADIUS server, which permits or rejects communication to the network depending
on the authentication result. If authentication fails, a LAN switch (or an access point) blocks access from the outside of the network.
Select the authentication method from the options below. If necessary, install or register a key pair or CA certificate before configuring
IEEE 802.1X authentication (
TLS
The machine and the authentication server authenticate each other by mutually verifying their certificates. A key pair issued by a
certification authority (CA) is required for the client authentication (when authenticating the machine). For the server authentication,
a CA certificate installed via the Remote UI can be used in addition to a CA certificate preinstalled in the machine. The TLS method
cannot be used with TTLS or PEAP at the same time.
TTLS
This authentication method uses a user name and password for the client authentication and a CA certificate for the server
authentication. MSCHAPv2 or PAP can be selected as the internal protocol. TTLS can be used with PEAP at the same time. Enable SSL
for the Remote UI before configuring this authentication method (
PEAP
The required settings are almost the same as those of TTLS. MS-CHAPv2 is used as the internal protocol. Enable SSL for the Remote
UI before configuring this authentication method (
