Chapter5 Configuring the Client Adapter
Setting Security Parameters
Step5 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections or Network Connections.
Step6 Right-click your wireless connection.
Step7 Click Properties. The Connection Properties window appears.
Step8 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 whi ch
you want the client adapter to associate from the list of available net works, cl ick Configure, and
choose the Authentication tab.
Step9 For EAP type, choose Protected EAP (PEAP).
Step10 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-14 if you need help
configuring the PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) settings.
Step11 After you have finished the configuration, PEAP authentication should begin. Depen din g on t he
configuration settings you selected, you may be prompted for your PEA P u se rname , pa ssword, a nd
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 proper ty se ttings 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.
Note 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.
Note If you experience problems while using a host-based EAP profile, make sure that 802. 1X authentication
is disabled for any other network connection.
