EAP Credentials
SCU EAP Types
The following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be
configured in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With
each of these four types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the config,
you will be prompted to enter credentials the first time the radio attempts to
associate to an access point that supports 802.1X (EAP).
Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:
• PEAP-GTC: SCU supports static (login) passwords only.
• LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended.
• EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning.
EAP-TLS will work with a RA2041 radio module when Windows Zero Config
(WZC) rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With WZC, the native
Windows supplicant instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used.
2.5.2.2 EAP Credentials
Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:
• If the credentials specified in the config are incorrect and that config is used,
the authentication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted
to enter correct credentials.
• If the credentials are not specified in the config, when the radio tries to asso-
ciate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
• When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials,
or cancel the operation.
• If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and
authenticate.
• If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate
but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter creden-
tials.
• If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the
radio will not attempt to associate with that config until you perform one
of the following actions (while the config is the active config):
• Cause the WORKABOUT PRO G2 to go through a power cycle or sus-
pend/resume.
• Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the Diags
windows.
