Authentication
The ZyXEL Device supports EAP-TTLS authentication.
EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Service)
EAP-TTLS is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the
server-side authentications to establish a secure connection (with EAP-TLS digital
certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless clients for mutual authentication).
Client authentication is then done by sending username and password through the secure
connection, thus client identity is protected. For client authentication, EAP-TTLS supports
EAP methods and legacy authentication methods such as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-
CHAP v2.
