Overview

Overview

This chapter explains the sequence of events that occurs after you (or auto profile selection) activate a profile that uses EAP authentication or you eject and reinsert the client adapter, reboot the computer, log on while this profile is active, or are informed that your password has expired or is invalid. The chapter contains seven sections based on the profile’s authentication type and its username and password settings:

•LEAP or EAP-FAST with the Windows username and password, page 6-3

•LEAP or EAP-FAST with an automatically prompted login, page 6-5

•LEAP or EAP-FAST with a manually prompted login, page 6-8

•LEAP or EAP-FAST with a saved username and password, page 6-12

•EAP-TLS, page 6-13

•PEAP (EAP-GTC), page 6-14

•PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2), page 6-15

Also provided are an overview of LEAP and EAP-FAST authentication (below) and instructions for restarting the authentication process when necessary (page 6-15).

Follow the instructions for your profile’s authentication type and credential settings to successfully authenticate.

Note If any error messages appear during authentication, refer to Chapter 10 for explanations and recommended actions.
