Installing and Using the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN Mobile Adapter 2202
Preliminary Draft - Nortel Networks Confidential
PEAP security
Two types of PEAP security are provided as follows:
• PEAP (EAP-GTC) authentication is designed to support one-time password
(OTP), the Windows NT or Windows 2000 domain, and L DAP users
databases over a wireless LAN. It is based on EAP-TLS authentication but
uses a password instead of a client certificate for authentication. PEAP
(EAP-GTC) uses a dynamic session-based WEP key derived from the client
adapter and RADIUS server to encrypt data.
Networks that use an OTP user database require entering a hardware or
software token password to start the PEAP (EAP-GTC) authentication
process and to gain access to the network. Networks that use a Windows NT
or Windows 2000 domain user database or an L DAP user database (such as
NDS) require entering a username, password, and domain name in order to
start the PEAP (EAP-GTC) authentication process.
• The PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) authentication type is based on EAP-TLS
authentication, but uses a password instead of a client certificate for
authentication. PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) uses a dynamic session-based
WEP key, which is derived from the client adapter and RADIUS server, to
encrypt data.
To use PEAP security, access the Security tab in the Profile Management window
of the Mobile Adapter 2202 Utility and perform the following steps:
1 In the Profile Management window, click on New or Modify to edit the
security settings.
2 Select a profile to edit, or enter a name for the new profile in the Profile
Management window, and enter the SSID of the AP to which the station
connects.
3 On the Security tab, select the WPA radio button or the 802.1x radio button
depending on what type of EAP security you want to configure.
4 Select PEAP (EAP-GTC) or PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) from either the
WPA EAP Type or 802.1x EAP Type drop-down menu as appropriate,
depending on what you selected in step 3.
5 Do one of the following:
