Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication
IEEE 802.1X is an authentication standard and it uses the authentication server (RADIUS server).
You can select 4 types of EAP authentication method: EAP-TLS, LEAP, EAP-TTLS and PEAP. Note that
each EAP authentication method has different configuration settings and authentication procedures.
Types and requirements of certificates are as follows:
EAP type Required certificates
EAP-TLS Site certificate, Device certificate (IEEE 802.1X Client Certificate)
LEAP -
EAP-TTLS Site certificate
PEAP Site certificate
PEAP (Phase 2 is for TLS
only)
Site certificate, Device certificate (IEEE 802.1X Client Certificate)
Installing a Site Certificate
Install a site certificate (root CA certificate) for verifying the reliability of the authentication server. You
need to have at least a certificate issued by the certificate authority who signed the server certificate or a
certificate from a higher certificate authority.
Only PEM (Base64-encoded X.509) site certificates can be imported.
1. Log in as the network administrator from Web Image Monitor.
2. Point to [Device Management], and then click [Configuration].
3. Click [Site Certificate] under "Security".
4. Click [Browse] for "Site Certificate to Import", and then select the CA certificate you
obtained.
5. Click [Open].
6. Click [Import].
7. Check that the imported certificate's [Status] shows "Trustworthy".
If [Site Certificate Check] shows [Active], and the [Status] of the certificate shows [Untrustworthy],
communication might not be possible.
8. Click [OK].
9. Log out.
