Take the following steps to set up trusted APs and trusted users.
1
Configure an IP address and shared secret in the Trusted AP database to specify
an AP as trusted.
2
Configure wireless client user names and passwords in the Trusted Users
database to use a trusted AP as a relay between the NWA’s internal RADIUS
server and the wireless clients.
The wireless clients can then be authenticated by the NWA’s internal RADIUS
server.
PEAP (Protected EAP) and MD5 authentication is implemented on the internal
RADIUS server using simple username and password methods over a secure TLS
connection. See
Appendix A on page 303 for more information on the types of EAP
authentication and the internal RADIUS authentication method used in your NWA.
Note: The internal RADIUS server does not support domain accounts (DOMAIN/
user). When you configure your Windows XP SP2 Wireless Zero Configuration
PEAP/MS-CHAPv2 settings, deselect the Use Windows logon name and
password check box. When authentication begins, a pop-up dialog box
requests you to type a Name, Password and Domain of the RADIUS server.
Specify a name and password only, do not specify a domain.
