Question 130
An enterprise access-control incident describes: A campus mandates certificate-only corporate Wi-Fi, but its pilot SSID still allows password-based PEAP in an overly broad allowed-protocol set. What should be incorporated into the change checklist?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Audit EAP method availability and certificate trust before deploying new WLANs. This control addresses recurrence of the observed failure. The governing behavior is: 802.1X is the access framework; its selected EAP method determines whether certificates or password-based credential exchange is used. The ongoing acceptance check remains: A valid managed EAP-TLS client joins and a password-only test client does not meet the secure SSID policy.
Incorrect Answers
Audit EAP method availability and certificate trust before deploying new WLANs. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Test SSID and network-device-group conditions in each wireless authorization policy set. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Audit EAP method availability and certificate trust before deploying new WLANs. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Include CoA reachability and session-identity checks in wireless integration acceptance tests. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Audit EAP method availability and certificate trust before deploying new WLANs. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Change the authentication and authorization exception actions to controlled denial or strictly limited approved critical access. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
