public enum class AuthenticationMode
J#
public enum AuthenticationMode
JScript
public enum AuthenticationMode

Members

Member nameDescription
Open
Specifies IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication mode. In this mode, there are no checks performed during the 802.11 authentication
Shared
Specifies IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication mode. This mode requires the use of a pre-shared Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key for the 802.11 authentication
AutoSwitch
Specifies auto-switch mode. When using auto-switch mode, the device tries IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication mode first. If Shared Key authentication fails, the device attempts to use IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication mode.

Remarks

Note The use of this setting is not recommended
WPA
Specifies WPA version 1 security for infrastructure mode. Authentication is performed between the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server over IEEE 802.1X. Encryption keys are dynamic and are derived through the authentication process While in this authentication mode, the device will only associate with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 1 (802.1X) within the WPA information element (IE). This authentication mode is only valid for infrastructure network modes. The driver must return NDIS_STATUS_NOT_ACCEPTED if its network mode is set to ad hoc.
WPAPSK
Specifies WPA version 1 security for infrastructure mode. Authentication is made between the supplicant and authenticator over IEEE 802.1X. Encryption keys are dynamic and are derived through a pre-shared key used on both the supplicant and authenticator. While in this authentication mode, the device will only associate with an access point whose beacon or probe responses contain the authentication suite of type 2 (pre-shared key) within the WPA information element (IE). This authentication mode is only valid for infrastructure network modes. The driver must return NDIS_STATUS_NOT_ACCEPTED if its network mode is set to ad hoc.
WPAAdHoc
Specifies WPA version 1 security for ad hoc mode. This setting specifies the use of a pre-shared key without IEEE 802.1X authentication. Encryption keys are static and are derived through the pre-shared key. This authentication mode is only valid for ad hoc network modes. The driver must return NDIS_STATUS_NOT_ACCEPTED if its network mode is set to infrastructure.
Unknown
The authentication mode cannot be determined.
