EAP Configuration Overview

EAP configuration overview provides the settings required for the controller, authentication server. It also provides the badge properties details required for EAP-TLS, PEAP, and EAP-FAST authentication framework.

Settings EAP-TLS Configuration PEAP Configuration EAP-FAST Configuration
Controller Configuration
Configure Encryption and Authentication 802.1x on the controller Yes Yes Yes
Add Authentication Server IP Yes Yes Yes

Device Configuration – Badge Properties
V5.AuthenticationType WPA-EAP WPA-EAP WPA-EAP
V5.EAPMethod TLS PEAP FAST
V5.UserName <Provide Username> <Provide Username> <Provide Username>
V5.Password <Provide password> <Provide password>
V5.EnableHigherTLSVer True True -
V5.EnableServerCertValidation - True/False

If the parameter is set to true and you are using external certificate to validate the certificate, then place the certificates in /gen5/badge/data/res/certificates/PEAP/ and set V5.EAPTLSUseExtCert = true, so that badge uses the certificate from correct path and validates the certificate.

Note: To validate Server certificate rootca certificate is required.

False
V5. EAPTLSUseExtCert True/False
  • True— Enables the device to take the external certificates from a different path. Place the external certificates in /gen5/badge/data/res/certificates/EAP-TLS/. Note: EAP-TLS folders and certificates and will not be available. You must create it to place external certificates.
  • False—Enables the device to access the Vocera manufacturer internal certificate from /gen5/badge/res/certificates/EAP-TLS/vi/.
True/False
  • True—Enables the device to access the external certificates from a different path. Place the external certificates at /gen5/badge/data/res/certificates/PEAP/
  • False— Enables the device to access the Vocera manufacturer internal certificate from /gen5/badge/res/certificates/PEAP/vi/
True/False
  • True—Enables the device to access the external certificates from a different path. Place the external certificates at/gen5/badge/data/res/certificates/EAP-Fast
  • False— Enables the device to access the Vocera manufacturer internal certificate from /gen5/badge/res/certificates/ EAP-Fast/vi/
V5.Provisioning - 0 or 1
  • 0—Uses MSCHAPv2 as the inner authentication method for authentication.
  • 0—Uses MSCHAPv2 as the inner authentication method for authentication.
  • 1—Uses GTC as the inner authentication method for authentication.

0/1/2/3

  • 0— Allows manual PAC provisioning to create a manual PAC on the authentication server and the device at g5/badge/data/res/certificate/EAP-Fast/.
  • 1— Allows anonymous PAC provisioning for creating PAC and authentication.
  • 2— Allows authenticates PAC provisioning for creating PAC and authentication.
  • 3—Allows Authenticated and Unauthenticated PAC provisioning.
