Setting Security Parameters

Step 5 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections or Network Connections.

Step 6 Right-click your wireless connection.

Step 7 Click Properties. The Connection Properties window appears.

Step 8 Perform one of the following:

•On Windows 2000, click the Authentication tab.

•On Windows XP, choose the Wireless Networks tab, make sure that the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box is checked, click the SSID of the access point to which you want the client adapter to associate from the list of available networks, click Configure, and choose the Authentication tab.

Step 9 For EAP type, choose Protected EAP (PEAP).

Step 10 Configure any applicable settings on the Protected EAP Properties window and subwindows.

Note Refer to the “Enabling PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2)” section on page E-14if you need help configuring the PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) settings.

Step 11 After you have finished the configuration, PEAP authentication should begin. Depending on the configuration settings you selected, you may be prompted for your PEAP username, password, and domain name. Note that you may need to minimize ADU in order to access the pop-up window that prompts you for your credentials.

Note

You can have multiple host-based EAP profiles in ADU, but the Microsoft Wireless Configuration Manager maintains only one configuration. If you want to use different PEAP property settings for different host-based EAP profiles, you need to repeat the previous steps beginning with Step 4 every time you switch to a different host-based EAP profile.

When you activate a host-based EAP profile, the Microsoft Wireless Configuration Manager takes control of the client adapter’s authentication attempt. However, when you activate a non-host-based EAP profile, ADU assumes this control.

If you experience problems while using a host-based EAP profile, make sure that 802.1X authentication is disabled for any other network connection.
