44  Setting Up Authentication
Managing PIN Settings
You might have already set a PIN on your SIM card hardware. You have two choices
for the PIN field for OAC:
 Select PIN is not required (default) if you are not required to use the PIN for
your connections (you have no PIN assigned to your SIM card).
 Select Prompt for PIN if you enable a PIN for your use with your SIM card and
you want to be prompted for your SIM card PIN each time that you connect.
You might want to use this option for security reasons. You must use this option
when you select [any]
under SIM card ID (as opposed to a specific SIM card
ID).
 Select Use the following PIN to use the PIN that you have enabled for use with
your specified SIM card ID. In this case, type the PIN in the box provided. With
this option, the PIN is stored and you are not prompted to enter it when you
make a network connection.
Configuring EAP-SIM Identity
You have options for how your EAP-SIM identity is presented to your provider for
network authentication. The option that you choose depends on your provider’s
requirements.
You have two choices for entering your SIM identity:
 Select Use the IMSI from my SIM card (default) if your provider requires you to
use your IMSI for identification.
 Select Use the login name I entered in this profile if you are required to use
an identity (usually of the form username@realm) rather than your IMSI. In this
case, make sure that your login name is in the form that is required by your
provider. Note that when you select this option and if you allow more than one
authentication protocol with this profile, there might be a conflict with your
login name. If you are required to select this option, create a separate
configuration for connections that use protocols other than EAP-SIM or
EAP-AKA.
Setting Up Authentication
Corporate networks use different authentication methods and settings. You need
the correct settings configured for your network. Before changing or specifying any
authentication settings in OAC, consult your network administrator to determine if
those changes reflect corporate policy. If your settings are incorrect, you might not
be authenticated to access your network. In many cases, authentication settings
might be preconfigured and possibly restricted by your network administrator.
To specify network authentication protocols:
Open the Authentication tab in the Profile Properties dialog (Figure 10).
