Step 3 of 3: EAP-FAST Server
Authenticated-TLS-Server Provisioning Mode is supported using a trusted CA certificate, a self-signed
server certificate, or server public keys and GTC as the inner EAP method.
1. Select one of the following credential retrieval methods:
Validate Server Certificate or Specify
Server or Certificate Name.
2. Click OK to close the security settings.
EAP-FAST User Settings
NOTE: If an Administrator Package to be exported to a user's computer does not include the Enable
CCXv4 Administrator Tool Application Setting, only EAP-FAST User Settings will be available for
configuration.
To set up a client with EAP-FAST authentication:
1. Click Profiles on the WiFi connection utility main window. Or if you are acting as the administrator,
open the
Administrator Tool.
2. On the Profile page, click Add to open the Create WiFi Profile General Settings.
3. WiFi Network Name (SSID): Enter the network identifier.
4. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name.
5. Operating Mode: Click Network (Infrastructure). (This parameter is set to Infrastructure if you
are using the Administrator Tool.)
6. Administrator Profile Type: Select
Persistent or Pre-logon/Common. (This step applies only if you
are using the Administrator Tool.)
7. Click Next to open the Security Settings.
8. Click Enterprise Security.
9. Network Authentication: Select WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise.
10. Data Encryption: Select one of the following:
❍ TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a rekeying mechanism.
❍ AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is used as the data
encryption method whenever strong data protection is important.
AES-CCMP is recommended.
11. Enable 802.1X: Selected.
12. Authentication Type: Select EAP-FAST to be used with this connection.
13. Click Cisco Options to select Allow Fast Roaming (CCKM), which enables the client WiFi adapter
for fast secure roaming.
Step 1 of 3 EAP-FAST Provisioning (User Settings)
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 A-ID to an authenticating
client, and the client checks its database for a matching A-ID. If the client does not recognize the A-ID, it
requests a new PAC.
NOTE: If the provisioned Protected Access Credential (PAC) is valid, the WiFi connection utility does not
prompt the user for acceptance of the PAC. If the PAC is invalid, the WiFi connection utility fails the
provisioning automatically. A status message is displayed in the
Wireless Event Viewer that an
administrator can review on the user's computer.
