A Method for Changing Cleartext Passwords in the Extensible Authentication Protocol
Network Zen
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides support for multiple authentication methods. One such method is Generic Token Card (EAP-GTC) which, despite its name, is commonly used to support authentication using cleartext passwords in tunneled EAP methods. EAP-GTC does not provide the ability to change a password (for example, an expired password), however. This document defines the PassWord Change EAP method (EAP-PWC) in order to fill that void in functionality.
