EAP-FAST Settings (Cont.)

Anonymous Identity:

Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter an IT provided alphanumeric string

 

which (similar to the username) is used as the identity, but that does not

 

represent a real user.

 

This information is used as a fictitious name which might be seen by sniffer

 

programs during the initial connection and setup process between the panel

 

and the Radius server. In this way the real identity (username) is protected.

 

Typically, this is in the form of a fictitious username, such as

 

anonymous@amx.com

 

 

Password:

Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter the network password string specified

 

for the user entered within the Identity field (used by the panel to identify itself

 

to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server)

 

Note: This information is similar to the password entered to gain access to a

 

secured workstation.

 

 

Automatic PAC

This selection toggles PAC (Protected Access Credential) Provisioning -

Provisioning:

Enabled (automatic) or Disabled (manual).

 

• If Enabled is selected, the following PAC File Location field is disabled,

 

because the search for the PAC file is done automatically.

 

• If Disabled is selected, the user is required to manually locate a file

 

containing the PAC shared secret credentials for use in authentication. In

 

this case, the IT department must create a PAC file and then transfer it into

 

the panel using the AMX Certificate Upload application.

 

Note: Even when automatic provisioning is enabled, the PAC certificate is

 

only downloaded the first time that the panel connects to the RADIUS server.

 

This file is then saved into the panel's file system and is then reused from

 

then on. It is possible for the user to change a setting, such as a new Identity,

 

that would invalidate this certificate. In that case, the panel must be forced to

 

download a new PAC file. To do this, set Automatic PAC Provisioning to

 

Disabled and then back to Enabled. This forces the firmware to delete the old

 

file and request a new one.

 

 

PAC File Location:

This field is used when the previous Automatic PAC Provisioning option has

 

been Disabled.

 

• When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen PAC File Location

 

keyboard which allows you to enter the name of the file containing the PAC

 

shared secret credentials for use in authentication.

 

• This field is only valid when the automatic PAC provisioning feature has

 

been enabled via the previous field.

 

 

Save/Cancel:

Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the

 

previous page.

 

Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.

 

 

Refer to the EAP Authentication section on page 166 and the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 23 for further details on these security options.
