The TwclWiFiAuthAlgorithm type exposes the following members.

Show:
 NameDescription
auOpen

Specifies an IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication algorithm.

auOwe

Specifies an opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) algorithm.

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 preshared 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(preshared key) within the RSN IE.

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.

auUnknown

The authentication algorithm is unknown or invalid.

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).

auWpa3

Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode algorithm.

auWpa3Ent

Specifies a WPA3-Enterprise algorithm.

auWpa3Sae

Specifies a WPA3-Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (WPA3-SAE) algorithm.

auWpaNone

This value is not supported.

auWpaPsk

Specifies a WPA algorithm that uses preshared keys (PSK). IEEE 802.1X port authentication is performed by the supplicant and authenticator. Cipher keys are dynamically derived through a preshared 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 (preshared key) within the WPA IE.
