Chapter 6 Using EAP Authentication
Using LEAP with a Manually Prompted Login
Note
If you click Cancel rather than OK on the LEAP login screen, the following message appears:
“The current profile will be disabled until the system restarts or you eject and reinsert the
card. Are you sure?” If you click No, the LEAP login reappears and allows you to enter your
new credentials. If you click Yes, the current profile is disabled until you reboot your
computer or eject and reinsert the card. The Current Profile field on the Status screen lists
the profile as being “Disabled.”
Using LEAP with a Manually Prompted Login
After Profile Selection
After you (or auto profile selection) select a profile that uses LEAP authentication but specifies that the
process be manually invoked, follow the steps below to LEAP authenticate.
Step 1
When the LEAP login screen appears (see
Figure 6-7
), enter your LEAP username and password and
click OK. The domain name is optional.
Figure 6-7
LEAP Login Screen
Note
The LEAP login screen shown above appears on computers running Windows NT, 2000, or
XP. The LEAP login screen looks slightly different on computers running other Windows
operating systems.
The “LEAP Authentication in progress” message appears.
Step 2
If your client adapter authenticates, the message disappears, and the Server Based Authentication field
on the ACU Status screen shows “LEAP Authenticated.”
If the authentication attempt fails, an error message appears after the LEAP timeout period has expired.
Refer to the
“Error Messages”
section in
Chapter 9
for the necessary action to take.
