NOTE: Contact your administrator to obtain the domain name.
■ Password: This password must match the password that is set in
the authentication server. The entered password characters display
as asterisks.
■ Confirm Password: Reenter the user password.
2. Allow automatic provisioning of Protected Access Credentials (PAC):
EAP-FAST uses a PAC key to protect the user credentials that are
exchanged. All EAP-FAST authenticators are identified by an Authority
Identity (A-ID). The local authenticator sends its AID to an authenticating
client, and the client checks its database for a matching AID. If the client
does not recognize the AID, it requests a new PAC.
Click the PACs button to view any PACs that have already been
provisioned and reside on this computer. A PAC must have already been
obtained to clear Allow automatic provisioning on the Security
Settings.
NOTE: If the provisioned Protected Access Credential (PAC) is valid,
Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless does not prompt the user for acceptance of the
PAC. If the PAC is invalid, Intel PROSet/Wireless fails the provisioning
automatically. A status message is displayed in the
Wireless Event Viewer
that an administrator can review on the user's computer.
PAC distribution can also be completed manually (out-of-band). Manual
provisioning enables you to create a PAC for a user on an ACS server and
then import it into a user's computer. A PAC file can be protected with a
password, which the user needs to enter during a PAC import.
To import a PAC:
1. Click PACs to open the Protected Access Credentials (PAC) list.
2. Click Import to import a PAC that resides on this computer or a server.
3. Select the PAC and click Open.
