3. Choose a certificate authority from which the server certificate was downloaded in the Trusted Root
Certification Authorities drop-down box, or, if applicable, choose <Any>.
4. To use a temporary username and password, choose Use Temporary User Name and Password.
This option 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, unless you choose Use Windows
User Name and Password.
Choose one of the following options under Use Temporary User Name and Password:
– Use Windows 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 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 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 in the Action
drop-down menu or ASTU. 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.
5. To use a saved username and password, choose Use Saved User Name and Password.
This option 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).
Follow these steps to specify the username and password to use for EAP-FAST authentication:
a. Enter a username and password in the appropriate fields.
b. Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field.
c. If you wish to specify a domain name that will be passed to the RADIUS server along with your
username, enter it in the Domain field.
6. If you work in an environment with multiple domains and therefore want your Windows login
domain to be passed to the RADIUS server along with your username, check the Include Windows
Logon Domain with User Name check box. The default setting is checked.
Note If you chose to use a saved username and password but do not check the Include Windows Logon
Domain with User Name check box, the saved domain name is not passed to the RADIUS server.
7. To specify a server or domain name and a login name to use for authenticating user credentials, click
Advanced and follow the instructions in “Configuring Advanced Settings” on page 5-58.
8. Click OK to save your settings and return to the Configure EAP-FAST window.
