Description
Multiple user credential profiles can be created for use when the user roams from one network to
another. The drop-down list contains existing authentication credential profiles. Select a profile from the
list to edit it in the fields that follow.
This is the 802.1X identity supplied to the authenticator. The identity value can be up to 63 ASCII char-
acters and is case-sensitive.
For tunneled authentication protocols such as TTLS and PEAP, this identity (called the Phase 1 identity)
is sent outside the protection of the encrypted tunnel. Therefore, it is recommended that this field not
contain a true identity, but instead the identity "anonymous" and any desired realm (e.g. anony-
mous@myrealm.com). For TTLS and PEAP, true user credentials (Phase 2 identity) are entered in the
Tunneled authentication section.
When used with PEAP and the .NET Enterprise Server Version 5.2, this field must contain the identity
used in both Phase I and Phase II. The Phase II identity field is ignored.
This is the password used for MD5-Challenge or LEAP authentication. It may contain up to 63 ASCII
characters and is case-sensitive. Asterisks appear instead of characters for enhanced security.
This is the authentication method to be used - MD5-Challenge, LEAP, PEAP, TLS, or TTLS.
Your network administrator should let you know the protocols supported by the RADIUS server. The
RADIUS server sits on the network and acts as a central credential repository for Access Servers that
receive the radio signals and ultimately block or allow users to attach to the network.
