Using LEAP with a Manually Prompted Login
After Profile Selection
After you (or auto profile selection) select a profile that uses LEAP authentication but specifies that the
process be manually invoked, follow the steps below to LEAP authenticate.
Step 1 When the LEAP login screen appears (see Figure 6-7), enter your LEAP username and password and
click OK. The domain name is optional.
Figure 6-7 LEAP Login Screen
Note The LEAP login screen shown above appears on computers running Windows NT, 2000, or
XP. The LEAP login screen looks slightly different on computers running other Windows
operating systems.
The “LEAP Authentication in progress” message appears.
Step 2 If your client adapter authenticates, the message disappears, and the Server Based Authentication field
on the ACU Status screen shows “LEAP Authenticated.”
If the authentication attempt fails, an error message appears after the LEAP timeout period has expired.
Refer to the “Error Messages” section in Chapter 9 for the necessary action to take.
After a Reboot/Logoff/Card Insertion
After your computer reboots, you log off, or you eject and reinsert the client adapter, the adapter does
not automatically attempt to authenticate. You must manually invoke the authentication process. To do
so, follow the steps below.
Step 1 If you rebooted your computer or logged off, complete your standard Windows login.
Step 2 Double-click the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) icon on your desktop to open ACU.
Step 3 Select the Manual LEAP Login option from the Commands drop-down menu (see Figure 6-8).
