Choose one of the following EAP-FAST username and password setting options:

Use Temporary User Name and Password—Requires you to enter the EAP-FAST username and
password each time the computer reboots in order to authenticate and gain access to the network.

Use Saved User Name and Password—Does not require you to enter an EAP-FAST username and
password each time the computer reboots. Authentication occurs automatically as needed using a
saved username and password (which are registered with the RADIUS server).

Step 4

options:

Use Windows Logon User Name and Password—Causes your Windows username and
password to also serve as your EAP-FAST username and password, giving you only one set of
credentials to remember. After you log in, the EAP-FAST authentication process begins
automatically. This option is the default setting.

Automatically Prompt for User Name and Password—Requires you to enter a separate
EAP-FAST username and password (which are registered with the RADIUS server) in addition
to your regular Windows login in order to start the EAP-FAST authentication process.

Manually Prompt for User Name and Password—Requires you to manually invoke the
EAP-FAST authentication process as needed using the Manual Login option from the
Commands drop-down menu. You are not prompted to enter an EAP-FAST username and
password during the Windows login. This option might be used to support a software token
one-time password system or other systems that require additional software that is not available
at login.

username, enter it in the Domain field or include it in the User Name field as follows:
username@domain.com. A maximum of 64 ASCII characters can be entered for the
username@domain.com string, and this format must be supported by your RADIUS server.

Note

If you include the domain name in the User Name field, the Domain field becomes
disabled.
