Chapter 6 Using EAP Authentication
Using LEAP with the Windows Username and Password
This screen provides information about the status of LEAP authentication.
Table 6-1
lists and explains
the stages of LEAP authentication. As each stage is completed, a status message (such as Successful)
appears in the Status field. If any error messages appear, refer to the
“LEAP Authentication Error
Messages” section on page 10-20
for an explanation and the recommended action to take.
Step 2
If you do not want the LEAP Authentication Status screen to appear each time the client adapter attempts
to LEAP authenticate, check the Shown minimized next time check box in the bottom left corner of the
screen. On future LEAP authentication attempts, the LEAP Authentication Status screen appears
minimized in the Windows system tray.
Note
To make the LEAP Authentication Status screen reappear once it has been minimized, click the
LEAP Authentication Status tab in the Windows system tray and uncheck the Shown
minimized next time check box. The LEAP Authentication Status screen should now appear for
all future LEAP authentication attempts.
Using LEAP with the Windows Username and Password
After Profile Selection or Card Insertion
After you (or auto profile selection) select a profile that uses LEAP authentication and specifies that your
Windows username and password also serve as your LEAP username and password or you eject and
reinsert the client adapter while this profile is selected, the following events occur:
1.
The LEAP Authentication Status screen appears.
2.
If your client adapter authenticates, the screen shows that each stage was successful and then
disappears. ACM now shows Authenticated, and the Server Based Authentication field on the ACU
Status screen shows LEAP Authenticated.
