EAP Peer Method Registry Values

  • Article

Specific registry values are required for EAP peer methods.

EAP Peer Method DLL Paths

The following path specifies the registry location for regular EAP peer method DLLs.

HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Eaphost\Methods\<AuthorId>\<EapTypeId>

For example, an EAP method installation registration path given an AuthorId of "311" (indicating that "Microsoft" is the author) and a EapTypeId of "40", appears as follows.

HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Eaphost\Methods\311\40

The following path specifies the registry location for extended EAP method DLLs.

Note

Extended EAP method DLLs are supported in Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later.

 

HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Eaphost\Methods\<AuthorId>\254\<VendorId>\<EapTypeId>

For example, an EAP method installation registration path given an AuthorId of "311" (indicating that "Microsoft" is the author), a VendorId of "311", and a EapTypeId of "40", appears as follows.

HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Eaphost\Methods\311\254\311\40

Note

For more information on the allocation of EAP method types, see section 6.2 of RFC 3748.
