The EAP-TLS protocol for AD/LDAP access is discussed in Authentication Methods.

Requiring client certificates, EAP-TLS is a common EAP method used. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the same protocol used for secure web pages, although client certificates are not required during web access when using TLS. The client and server perform mutual authentication and form encryption keys based on certificate contents. The fields in an EAP-TLS definition are:
