Configuring a VAP for Corporate LAN Access
You can use a Corporate LAN VAP for a set of users who are commonly in the office, and to
whom should be given full access to all network resources, providing that the connection is
authenticated and secure. These users would already belong to the network’s Directory
Service, Microsoft Active Directory, which provides an EAP interface through IAS – Internet
Authentication Services. This section contains the following subsection:
