Enabling EAP-MD5/LEAP Authentication via the InterCon-NetTool

Proceed as follows:

1. Start the InterCon-NetTool.

2. Double-click the TPG60 in the print server list.

The Properties dialog appears.

3. Select Configuration – Protection from the navigation bar.

4. Select the Authentication tab.

5. Select EAP-MD5/LEAP from the Authentication list.

6. Enter the user name into the User name box.

7. Enter the password into the Password box.

8. Click OK to confirm.

ª The settings are saved.

7.5 How Does the TPG60 Authenticate Itself in the

network via EAP-TLS?

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides methods for authentication and

authorization in networks. Within the scope of the IEEE 802.1x

standard, the TPG60 supports the authentication protocol EAP-TLS.

You can verify the identity of the TPG60 using the authentication

method EAP-TLS.

EAP-TLS offers a highly cryptographic authentication of the client in

the network. Both the client and the server exchange cryptographic

certificates to verify their identities. The network components use a

RADIUS server for authentication purposes. As for the security

protocol EAP-TLS, the RADIUS server is integrated into a PKI (Public

Key Infrastructure).

The EAP-TLS method works similar to a SSL connection where the

browser uses a certificate to authenticate itself to a server (or the

server to a browser). In this process, a method is applied that both

sides can handle.

EAP-TLS describes a certificate-based authentication method via a

RADIUS server. For this purpose, certificates are exchanged between

the TPG60 and the RADIUS server.
