For EAP type, select MD5-Challenge.
Step 4
Click OK to save your settings. The configuration is complete, and the client adapter should attempt to
associate and EAP authenticate using MD5.
Step 5
When a pop-up message appears above the system tray informing you that you need to enter your
credentials to access the network, click the message. The Wireless Network Connection screen appears.
Step 6
Enter your EAP-MD5 authentication username, password, and optional domain name (which are
registered with the RADIUS server) and click OK. The client adapter should now EAP authenticate.
Note
Whenever the computer reboots and you enter your Windows username and password, the
pop-up message appears, and you must re-enter your EAP-MD5 credentials in order to EAP
authenticate.
Step 7
To verify authentication, double-click My Computer, Control Panel, and Network Connections. The
status appears to the right of your Wireless Network Connection. Click View and Refresh to obtain the
current status. If the client adapter is authenticated, the status reads, “Authentication succeeded.”
