802.1x Authentication 
802.1x authentication methods govern interactions between the supplicant (client) and the 
authentication server. The most commonly used methods are Transport Layer Security 
(TLS); Tunneled TLS (TTLS), which is a Funk/Certicom standards proposal; and PEAP.
TLS is the most secure of the currently available protocols, although TTLS is advertised to be 
as strong as TLS. Both TLS and TTLS are certificate-based and require a Public Key 
Infrastructure (PKI) that can issue, renew, and revoke certificates. TTLS is easier to deploy, 
as it requires only server certificates, by contrast with TLS, which requires client and server 
certificates. With TTLS, the client can use the MD5 mode of user name/password 
authentication. 
If you plan to use 802.1x authentication, see the documentation for your particular RADIUS 
server and 802.1x client on how to set up a PKI configuration.
This section describes the following topics:
Interoperability Requirements
For network login to operate, the user (supplicant) software and the authentication server 
must support common authentication methods. Not all combinations provide the appropriate 
functionality.
Supplicant Side
The supported 802.1x clients (supplicants) are Windows 2000 SP4 native client, Windows XP 
native clients, and Meetinghouse AEGIS. 
A Windows XP 802.1x supplicant can be authenticated as a computer or as a user. Computer 
authentication requires a certificate installed in the computer certificate store, and user 
authentication requires a certificate installed in the individual user's certificate store. 
By default, the Windows XP machine performs computer authentication as soon as the 
computer is powered on, or at link-up when no user is logged into the machine. User 
authentication is performed at link-up when the user is logged in. 
Windows XP also supports guest authentication, but this is disabled by default. See the 
relevant Microsoft documentation for further information. The Windows XP machine can be 
configured to perform computer authentication at link-up even if user is logged in.
