User Tab
The User settings tab defines the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user.
Field Description
Profile Multiple user credential profiles can be created for use when the user roams from one network
to another. The drop-down list contains existing authentication credential profiles. Select a profile
from the list to edit it in the fields that follow.
Tapping Add permits new profiles to be added to the list. A
screen appears where you can enter a name for the new
profile.
Enter a Profile name and tap OK. The name entered
appears in the Profile drop-down list.
Tapping Delete deletes authentication profiles. To be
deleted, a profile cannot be assigned to a configured
network.
Identity This is the 802.1X identity supplied to the authenticator. The identity value can be up to 63 ASCII
characters and is case-sensitive.
For tunneled authentication protocols such as TTLS and PEAP, this identity (called the Phase 1
identity) is sent outside the protection of the encrypted tunnel. Therefore, it is recommended that
this field not contain a true identity, but instead the identity “anonymous” and any desired realm
(e.g. [email protected]). For TTLS and PEAP, true user credentials (Phase 2 identity)
are entered in the Tunneled authentication section.
Note: When used with PEAP and the .NET Enterprise Server Version 5.2, this field must contain
the identity used in both Phase I and Phase II. The Phase II identity field is ignored.
Password This is the password used for MD5-Challenge or LEAP authentication. It may contain up to 63
ASCII characters and is case-sensitive. Asterisks appear instead of characters for enhanced
security.
Authentication type This is the authentication method to be used - MD5-Challenge, LEAP, PEAP, TLS, or TTLS.
Your network administrator should let you know the protocols supported by the RADIUS server.
The RADIUS server sits on the network and acts as a central credential repository for Access
Servers that receive the radio signals and ultimately block or allow users to attach to the network.
