security wapi certificate

undo security

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
certificate	Configures WAPI certificate authentication.	-
psk	Configures WAPI pre-shared key authentication.	-
pass-phrase	Specifies the key phrase.	-
hex	Specifies a hexadecimal number. The password of hex does not have enough complexity, so pass-phrase is recommended.	-
key-value	Specifies a password in cipher text.	In pass-phrase mode, the key is a string of 8 to 64 characters in plain text or 48 or 68 or 88 or 108 characters in cipher text. In hex mode, the key is a string of 8 to 32 hexadecimal numbers, in which case the length of the string must be an even, or a string of 48 or 68 or 88 or 108 characters in cipher text. A password cannot contain the space and double quotation mark (") at the same time. When the password contains a space, add the double quotation mark (") to the beginning and end of the string when entering the password. For example, if the password is abc123 ABC, enter "abc123 ABC". NOTE: For security purposes, you are advised to configure a password that contains at least two of the following: digits, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and special characters.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

WAPI supports two authentication modes: certificate authentication and pre-shared key authentication. When pre-shared key authentication is used, a pre-shared key must be configured.

If WAPI authentication is specified as a security policy in a security profile, you can run the wapi authentication-method command to configure the WAPI authentication mode.
The wapi authentication-method command determines the WAPI authentication and key management mode. When certificate authentication and key management are configured, authentication involves identity authentication and key negotiation, and the authentication server and certificate need to be configured. When pre-shared key authentication is configured, a pre-shared key needs to be configured, and STAs also need to know the pre-shared key. In this situation, authentication just involves key negotiation.

Precautions

The AP7030DE and AP9330DN do not support WAPI.

The system displays the message only when the security profile has been bound to the other profiles.

Example

# Set the WAPI authentication mode to pre-shared key authentication and specify the key.
