Defines a wireless LAN authentication algorithm.
| Enumerator |
|---|
| auOpen | Specifies an IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication algorithm.
|
| auSharedKey | Specifies an 802.11 Shared Key authentication algorithm that requires the use of a pre-shared Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key for the 802.11 authentication.
|
| auWpa | Specifies a WiFi Protected Access (WPA) algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authentication is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process.
This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.
When the WPA algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 1 (802.1X) within the WPA information element (IE).

|
| auWpaPsk | Specifies a WPA algorithm that uses pre-shared keys (PSK). IEEE 802.1X port authentication 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.
This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.
When the WPA PSK algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 2 (pre-shared key) within the WPA IE.

| auWpaNone | This value is not supported.
|
| auRsna | Specifies an 802.11i Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) algorithm. WPA2 is one such algorithm. IEEE 802.1X port authentication is performed by the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through the authentication process.
This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.
When the RSNA algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 1 (802.1X) within the RSN IE.

| auRsnaPsk | Specifies an 802.11i RSNA algorithm that uses PSK. IEEE 802.1X port authentication 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.
This algorithm is valid only for BSS types of bssInfrastructure.
When the RSNA PSK algorithm is enabled, the 802.11 station will associate only with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 2(pre-shared key) within the RSN IE.

| auWpa3 | Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode algorithm.
|
| auWpa3Sae | Specifies a WPA3-Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (WPA3-SAE) algorithm.
|
| auOwe | Specifies an opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) algorithm.
|
| auWpa3Ent | Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise algorithm.
|
| auUnknown | The authentication algorithm is unknown or invalid.
