Determine 802.1x settings on hidden network

I'm pentesting a hidden WPA2 802.1x RADIUS network. I was able to get the SSID name, but I don't know the other settings I would need to connect, like whether it is using PEAP, etc. Is there a method to determine those settings on a hidden network, or would it just come down to trying different ones along with different username/password combinations and hoping for the best?

I've never had to do it but I'd assume you could probably work it out by sniffing authentication traffic. Each of the main types should have distinct fingerprints, for example looking for anonymous usernames Vs real usernames in the visible traffic.

I'd also look at their network and base a guess on that, eg if they are a committed Microsoft shop then it is probably PEAP and CHAP.
