Configure EAP-TTLS/PAP on Mac & iOS for RADIUS

Additional configuration is necessary if opting to use EAP-TTLS/PAP authentication for wireless clients. JumpCloud recommends when possible to utilize PEAP for authentication, as no additional configuration is necessary with rare exceptions.  Please refer to Configure your WiFi Clients to use RADIUS for additional information.

Prerequisites:

• Radius Configuration and Authentication
• Configure a Wireless Access Point (WAP), VPN or Router for RADIUS
• This process is for the initial configuration to use the JumpCloud RADIUS certificate.
• To learn more about the RADIUS authentication protocols supported by JumpCloud, see RADIUS Protocol Support.
