    Hey,

    I want to know if it's right that when using EAP-TTLSv1 there will be a tunnel established between the supplicant and the authentication server?
    The authenticator is not really involved in this process, he only gets after checking the credentials between supplicant and server the grant notify.

    I'm right?

    I have found some informations on the juniper homepage, but other websites tell me other informations, I'm a little bit confused at the moment.
    Or is it because the websites don't make difference between EAP-TTLSv0 and EAP-TTLSv1?

    Thanks for your help and kind regards
    David

    Hey David. Yes, you are right, the TLS tunnel exists between the authentication server and the supplicant. The authenticator is merely a middleman for the exchange.

    This doesn't change with TTLSv0 and v1, or with other EAP types like PEAP, for that matter.
