Abstract
A wireless network environment includes a plurality of access points, a wireless local area network (WLAN) controller, and a plurality of client devices. The client devices attempt to authenticate with the WLAN controller to gain access to wireless services provided by the WLAN controller and/or the access points. To authenticate with the WLAN controller, the WLAN controller obtains a request to establish a wireless network connection from one or more of the client devices. The WLAN controller then provides a response to the request. The response indicates whether the WLAN controller supports performing password-mapped simultaneous authentication of equals (SAE). The WLAN controller then obtains a message including a password-mapped identifier from the client device. The WLAN controller then establishes a connection with the client device based on the password obtained with password-mapped identifier mapping at WLC.
