4.5.1.4 Deleting 802.1x credentials
Caution: Exercise caution when deleting 802.1x credentials. For example,
deleting 802.1x credentials may prevent the Wireless AP from being
authenticated or to lose its connection with the HiPath Wireless Controller.
To delete current 802.1x credentials:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless AP Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless AP screen is displayed.
2. In the Wireless AP list, click the Wireless AP for which you want to delete its
current 802.1x credentials.
3. Do the following:
• To delete EAP-TLS credentials, click Delete EAP-TLS credentials.
• To delete PEAP credentials, click Delete PEAP credentials.
The credentials are deleted and the Wireless AP settings are updated.
Note: If you attempt to delete the 802.1x credentials of a Wireless AP that
currently does not have an active session with the HiPath Wireless Controller,
the credentials are only deleted after the Wireless AP connects with the
HiPath Wireless Controller.
4.5.2 Setting up 802.1x authentication for Wireless
APs using Multi-edit
In addition to configuring Wireless APs individually, you can also configure 802.1x
authentication for multiple Wireless APs simultaneously by using the AP 802.1x
Multi-edit feature.
When you use the AP 802.1x Multi-edit feature, you can choose to:
• Assign EAP-TLS authentication based on generated certificates to multiple
Wireless APs by uploading a .pfx, .cer, or .zip file.
• Assign PEAP credentials to multiple Wireless APs based on a user name and
password that you define
