Setting Up Authentication 47
Chapter 5: Managing Profiles
If you use EAP-GenericTokenCard as one of the inner authentication methods or if
you use EAP-POTP as the inner authentication method for EAP-PEAP, the Token
Card Credentials settings in the Authentication
tab apply. These settings allow
you to choose to use your password credentials or your token card ID for
authentication:
Select Use my password if your network requires that you use the password
credentials assigned with this profile instead of your token card ID for
authentication.
Select Prompt for token information if your network requires a token ID for
authentication.
Setting an Anonymous Name
With EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, and EAP-FAST, you can appear to log in anonymously,
while passing your actual login name through an encrypted tunnel. As a result, not
only are your credentials secure, but your identity is protected as well.
You can have two identities when you use any of the following protocols:
An inner identity, your actual login name, which is taken from the Login name
field in the User Info tab.
An outer identity that can be completely anonymous. You can set your outer
identity in the Anonymous name field.
Note the following:
Anonymous outer identities are implemented only when you enter a name in
Anonymous name.
When you leave Anonymous name blank, your inner identity is used as your
outer identity.
As a general rule, set Anonymous name to anonymous, the default value. Your
network administrator can tell you how to configure this field correctly.
In some cases, you might need to add additional text. For example, if this outer
identity is used to route your authentication to the proper server, you might be
required to use a format such as anonymous@acme.com.
NOTE: These token card settings do not apply when you configure
EAP-GenericTokenCard or EAP-POTP as an EAP inner authentication method for
EAP-TTLS. Additionally, these settings do not apply when you choose EAP-POTP
or EAP-GenericTokenCard as an outer authentication method from the Setting Up
Authentication tab.
