Chapter 6 Using EAP Authentication
Using Host-Based EAP
EAP-MD5
After your computer reboots or you log off and you enter your Windows username and password, follow
the steps below to EAP authenticate.
Step 1 When a pop-up message appears above the Windows 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 2 Enter your EAP-MD5 authentication username, password, and optional domain name (which are
registered with the RADIUS server) and click OK.
Step 3 The client adapter should now EAP authenticate. To verify authentication, double-click My Computer,
Control Panel, and Network Connections. The status appears to the right of your Wireless Network
Connection. If the client adapter is authenticated, the status reads, “Authentication succeeded.” The
status line also indicates if the authentication attempt fails.
