Client Authentication and Data Encryption
A user must authenticate to the WLAN to be able to access WLAN resources. The wireless
controller supports several types of security methods, including those methods that require
an external RADIUS or LDAP authentication server.
The encryption option that you can select depends upon the authentication method that you
selected. The following table lists the authentication methods available, with their
corresponding encryption options:
