Connecting Supplicants to the WLAN
The 802.1X authentication process is somewhat different depending on the operating system on which the RADIUS supplicant is
running and whether the client uses the user's login credentials to authenticate itself on a domain. If the supplicant is on a PC
running Windows Vista and is on a domain, and the RADIUS server is configured with domain authentication:
®
1. View the available SSIDs in the area, and select corp-wifi.
2. Click Connect.
Because most PC-based supplicants use their Windows login credentials to authenticate the client with the domain, the 802.1X
authentication process happens automatically.
NOTE: If the supplicant is on a PC running Windows XP, you must configure it to use PEAP for authentication. By default, a
Windows XP wireless client uses Smart Card or other Certificate instead of PEAP.
If the supplicant is Windows based and you are not on a domain:
1. Configure the SSID on your client as follows:
Network name (SSID): corp-wifi
Network authentication: WPA2
Data encryption: AES
Enable IEEE 802.1X authentication for this network: (select)
EAP type: Protected EAP (PEAP)
Authenticate as computer when computer information is available: (clear)
Authenticate as guest when user or computer information is unavailable: (clear)
Validate server certificate: (clear)
Select Authentication Method: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
Automatically use my WIndows logon name and password (and domain if any): (clear)
2. View the available SSIDs in the area and select corp-wifi.
3. Click "Connect."
4. When the prompt appears for you to select a certificate or enter other credentials to validate your identity, click the prompt,
enter the user name and password stored on the RADIUS server, and then click "OK."
If the supplicant is on a Macintosh computer and is not on a domain, view the available SSIDs in the area, and select corp-wifi.
Then click Join Network, and accept the certificate that the RADIUS server provides, assuming it is from a trustworthy source.
After the RADIUS server validates your identity, the client connects to the WLAN.
