Appendix A: Configuring Security Settings on Wireless Clients WPA with RADIUS Client Using EAP-TLS Certificate Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Transport Layer Security (TLS), or EAP-TLS, is an authentication protocol that supports the use of smart cards and certificates. You have the option of using EAP-TLS with both WPA with RADIUS and IEEE 802.1x modes if you have an external RADIUS server on the network to support it. If you want to use IEEE 802.1x mode with EAP-TLS certificates for authentication and authorization of clients, you must have an external RADIUS server and a Public Key Authority Infrastructure (PKI), including a Certificate Authority (CA), server configured on your network. It is beyond the scope of this document to describe these configuration of the RADIUS server, PKI, and CA server. Consult the documentation for those products. Some good starting points available on the Web for the Microsoft Windows PKI software are: "How to Install/Uninstall a Public Key Certificate Authority for Windows 2000" at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;231881 and How to Configure a Certificate Server at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;318710#3. To use this type of security, you must do the following: 1. Add the D-Link DWL-2210AP to the list of RADIUS server clients. (See "Configuring an External RADIUS Server to Recognize the D-Link DWL-2210AP" in this manual.) 2. Configure the D-Link DWL-2210AP to use your RADIUS server (by providing the RADIUS server IP address as part of the "WPA with RADIUS" security mode settings). 3. Configure wireless clients to use WPA security and "Smart Card or other Certificate" as described in this section. 4. Obtain a certificate for this client as described in "Obtaining a TLS-EAP Certificate for a Client" in this manual. If you configured the D-Link DWL-2210AP to use WPA with RADIUS security mode with an external RADIUS server . . . . . . then configure WPA security with certificate authentication on each client as shown on the following page. 149
