Abstract
Architecture for controlling access by a Light Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP)-compatible wireless client to a network that utilizes a challenge/handshake authentication protocol (CHAP). A proxy service is hosted on a network server disposed on the network, and accessed in response to receiving access information from the client. The access information is processed with the proxy service into CHAP-compatible access information, and forwarded to a CHAP-based access control server disposed on the network to determine whether to grant network access to the client.
