2.2.3.1 Configuration Element Syntax for BLOB-Based Wireless Profiles

  • Article

The BLOB-Based Wireless Profiles as specified in sections 2.2.1.1.4 and 2.2.1.1.5, contain a variable-length EAPData field. This field is a BLOB describing the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) configuration settings to be used while performing IEEE 802.1X [IEEE802.1X] authentication. The format of this field is specific to the EAP method specified in the EAPType field of the same element and to the implementation of this EAP method being used by the clients.

Following are the data formats for different values of EAPType assuming the Microsoft EAP method implementations. For other implementations of the EAP methods denoted by these EAPType values, contact the corresponding vendors for EAPData BLOB information.
