NetworkAuthenticationType Enumeration

Defines values that indicate the type of authentication used by the network.

Syntax

public enum class NetworkAuthenticationType  

Members

Member Value Description
Ihv Specifies an authentication type defined by an independent hardware vendor (IHV).
None No authentication enabled.
Open80211 Open authentication over 802.11 wireless. Devices are authenticated and can connect to an access point, but communication with the network requires a matching Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key.
Rsna Specifies an IEEE 802.11i Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process.
RsnaPsk Specifies an IEEE 802.11i RSNA algorithm that uses PSK. IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant and authenticator. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through a pre-shared key that is used on both the supplicant and authenticator.
SharedKey80211 Specifies an IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication algorithm that requires the use of a pre-shared Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key for the 802.11 authentication.
Unknown Authentication method unknown.
Wpa Specifies a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process.
WpaNone Wi-Fi Protected Access.
WpaPsk Specifies a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) algorithm that uses pre-shared keys (PSK). IEEE 802.1X port authorization is performed by the supplicant and authenticator. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through a pre-shared key that is used on both the supplicant and authenticator.
