Automatic client authentication for a wireless network protected by PEAP, EAP-TLS, or other extensible authentication protocols

摘要

The present invention is directed at providing a system and method for Automatic Client Authentication for a Wireless Network protected by PEAP, EAP-TLS, or other Extensible Authentication Protocols. The user doesn't have to understand the difference between the protocols in order to connect to the network. A default authentication protocol is automatically attempted. If not successful, then the authentication switches over to another authentication method if the network requests it.
