Authentication types supported by user accounts created by Sponsor portal?

[Muhammed Adnan]

Hello Experts, 

What are the authentication types that are supported by user accounts which are generally created through Sponsor Portal?

Can a Sponsor through the Sponsor Portal create user account(username & password) for dot1x authentication (PEAP-MSCHAPv2)?

Or is it a case that Sponsor Portal can user Guest user account for web authentication only?

Guest Types and User Identity Groups shows how to create or update a guest type.

Yes, a guest type with the following option may be used directly for DOT1X.

Allow guest to bypass the Guest portal—Allows users to bypass the credentialed guest-type captive portal (web authentication page), and access the network by providing credentials to wired and wireless (dot1x) supplicants or VPN clients. Guest accounts change to the Active state, bypassing the Awaiting Initial Login state and the AUP page, even if the AUP is required.

• If you do not enable this setting, users must first log in through the credentialed Guest captive portal before they are able to access other parts of the network.
