Chapter 8 Routine Procedures

ACU Procedures

Step 5

In the Select Options screen, select as many of the following options as desired and click Next:

Option

Description

LEAP

Enables you to create a profile in ACU that uses LEAP authentication.
If this option is not selected now and you later want to use LEAP, you
must run this installation program again, select Modify, and select this
option.

Note

Refer to

Chapter 5

for information on using LEAP.

Note

If you select LEAP on a Windows 95, 98, or 98 SE device,
Microsoft hot fixes are installed during ACU installation to fix
two problems related to the use of LEAP. Refer to

Chapter 9

for

more information on the hot fixes.

Note

If you select LEAP on a Windows XP device, you cannot use
Windows XP’s fast user switching feature.

Allow Saved LEAP User
Name and Password

Enables you to create a profile in ACU that uses a saved (rather than
temporary) username and password for LEAP authentication. When
such a profile is used, the saved username and password are used to
start the LEAP authentication process, and you are not prompted to
enter them.

Note

This option is available only if the LEAP option is selected.

PEAP

Installs the PEAP supplicant, which enables the client to support PEAP
authentication. If this option is not selected now and you later want to
use PEAP, you must run this installation program again, select Modify,
and select this option.

Default: Selected

Note

Refer to

Chapter 5

for information on using PEAP.

Note

PC-Cardbus cards do not support PEAP authentication.

Note

This option appears for all operating systems except Windows
95; however, your client adapter can authenticate using PEAP
only if your computer’s operating system is Windows 2000
(with Service Pack 3 or greater and the Windows 2000 Wireless
802.1X hot fix) or Windows XP.

Note

Service Pack 1 for Windows XP includes Microsoft’s PEAP
supplicant, which supports a Windows username and password
only and does not interoperate with Cisco’s PEAP supplicant.
To use Cisco’s PEAP supplicant, install ACU version 5.05 or
greater after Service Pack 1 for Windows XP. Otherwise, it will
be overwritten by Microsoft’s PEAP supplicant.
