<div><p><dfn class="term">Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)</dfn> allows third-party
|
|
authentication modules to interact with the PPP implementation.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>EAP extends PPP by providing a standard support mechanism for
|
|
authentication schemes such as token (smart) cards, Kerberos, Public Key,
|
|
and S/Key. EAP responds to the increasing demand to augment authentication
|
|
with third-party security devices. EAP protects secure virtual private networks
|
|
(VPN) from hackers that use dictionary attacks and password guessing. EAP
|
|
improves on Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake
|
|
Authentication Protocol (CHAP).</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>With EAP, the authentication information is not included in the
|
|
information, but rather with the information. This allows remote servers to
|
|
negotiate the necessary authentication before receiving or passing on any
|
|
information.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The iSeries™ server
|
|
does not directly support EAP. You can, however, use remote authentication
|
|
with a RADIUS server that might support some of the additional authentication
|
|
schemes described above.</p>
