When is EAP-TTLS used to protect pap or chap?

When EAP-TTLS is used to protect PAP or CHAP, the TTLS client takes the initiative by encoding the user credentials into RADIUS attributes and presenting them to the TTLS server encapsulated in TLS protected EAP messages. Since the client takes the initiative, no special configuration is needed in the TTLS server.

How is EAP-TTLS forwarded to the RADIUS server?

When the EAP-TTLS server forwards RADIUS messages to the home RADIUS server, it encapsulates the attributes protected by EAP-TTLS and inserts them directly into the forwarded message. The EAP-TTLS messages are not forwarded to the home RADIUS server.
