    Hi,

    About EAP-TLS, it's said server MUST provide its certificate to client for authentication, however client MAY send its certificate to server (that is, it's not a requirement, specified in RFC2716 EAP-TLS).
    My question is if server does not get a client certificate, how can it authenticate client?


    Thank you in advance.

    Hii

    according to my understanding of EAP-TLS it needs both server and client side certs for mutual authentication.

    Can you pls point which point in RFC 2716 you r looking at ?

    This is nice article on EAP-TLS .
