This value can also be changed within the Advanced Settings of the Barracuda NG Access Monitor, IEEE 802.1X

Authentication parameter.

Table 14–7Key {adapter_uid}

Item Description

Path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\phionuio\Parameters\Adapters\

Key {adapter_uid}

Value Enables or disables 8021X authentication for the adapter with the specified adapter_uid (Default=0)

•0 - disabled

•1 - enabled

Changes of this value take effect immediately.

This option may also be changed on the property page of the Barracuda Networks Personal Access Client within the network interface's properties dialog by changing the 802.1X Authentication option.

If an existing instance of a WPA supplicant is already running for the desired network interface while the service start is executed on the client, then the supplicant will be terminated followed by starting a new instance.

Alternatively the value in 1.1.A can be set by the Access Control Server, enforcing 802.1X authentication. To enable the enforced use of 802.1X by the Access Control Server, following option can be set:

•Enter the Access Control Server trust-zone configuration using the Barracuda NG Admin administration tool

•Open the rule to enable the use of 802.1X authentication and select the view

Policy Assignments

•Set the option Use 802.1X Authentication to Yes or No as desired

4.) wpa-supplicant configuration

In order for the "Client" service to run the wpa-supplicant, the wpa-supplicant requires a valid configuration file for every network interface a supplicant will operate on. These configuration files are located in the folder {install_directory}\wpa and generated by the Client service from a template configuration automatically.

If the configuration file for the network interface used is corrupted, following behavior will occur:

•The wpa-supplicant exe will terminate almost immediately and will not appear in the Process Explorer or Task Manager

•If verbose output is enabled:

wpa_supplicant_{adapter_uid}.log:

Line X: Invalid configuration file …
