Cisco Systems CB21AG manual Using Peap EAP-MSCHAP, Restarting the Authentication Process

Chapter 6 Using EAP Authentication

Using PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2)

Using PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2)

After you (or auto profile selection) activate a profile that uses PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) authentication or you eject and reinsert the client adapter, reboot the computer, or log on while this profile is active, the EAP authentication process begins automatically. The client adapter should EAP authenticate using either your Windows credentials or the username and password entered in the Define PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) Configuration window.

If your client adapter authenticates, ASTU and the Link Status field on the ADU Current Status window show Authenticated. If the authentication attempt fails, ASTU and ADU show Authentication Failed.

Restarting the Authentication Process

To force your client adapter to try to reauthenticate using the username and password of the current profile, choose Reauthenticate from the ASTU pop-up menu or the ADU Action drop-down menu. When you choose this option, the authentication process begins.

If your client adapter is unable to authenticate using the specified username and password, you may be prompted to re-enter them. If you click Cancel, a message appears indicating that the current profile will be disabled until you choose the Reauthenticate option, reboot your computer, or eject and reinsert the client adapter.
