Chapter 6 Using EAP Authentication
Using LEAP with a Manually Prompted Login
After Your LEAP Credentials Expire
If the LEAP credentials (username and password) for your current profile expire or become invalid,
follow the steps below to reauthenticate.
Step 1 Click OK when the following message appears: “The user name and password entered are no longer valid
and have failed the LEAP authentication process. Please enter a new user name and password.”
Step 2 When the LEAP login screen appears, enter your new username and password and click OK. The client
adapter should authenticate using your new credentials.
Note If you click Cancel rather than OK on the LEAP login screen, the following message appears:
“The profile will be disabled until you select the Reauthenticate option, Windows restarts, or the
card is ejected and reinserted. Are you sure?” If you click No, the LEAP login screen reappears
and allows you to enter your new credentials. If you click Yes, the current profile is disabled until
you select Reauthenticate from ACM or the Commands drop-down menu in ACU, reboot your
computer, or eject and reinsert the card. The Current Profile field on the ACU Status screen lists
the profile as being Disabled.
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.
Note This procedure is applicable the first time a manual LEAP profile is selected. After you follow the steps
below to enter your LEAP credentials, you can switch profiles without having to re-enter your
credentials until you reboot your computer, eject and reinsert your client adapter, or change the profile
in any way (including its priority in auto profile selection).
