PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2)
Microsoft-Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol V2 (MS-CHAP
V2) is a mutual authentication protocol that requires both the client and
server’s identities to be proven. If your connection is configured to use
MS-CHAP V2 as its only authentication method, and the server that
you are connecting to does not provide proof of its identity, your
connection disconnects.
To use PEAP-MSCHAP V2 security, access the
Security
tab in the
Profile Management
window.
1. You can select
WPA
radio button
Or
802.1x
radio button
2. Choose
PEAP (MS-CHAPV2)

button.
NOTE
To enable this security, you must ensure that your PC/notebook has
already downloaded WPA-PEAP certificates; and the server properties
must already be set. Check with your system administrator for details.
3. Enter your PEAP username and password (which are registered
with the server) in the
User Name
and
Password
field
respectively. Re-type the password in the
Confirm Password
field.
