PEAP authentication for laptops

vijay kumar — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:27:08 GMT

Hi All,

We have created SSID with 802.1x authentication with WPA2 AES encrytion(Broadcast) . When I am trying to access the SSID in my Android , apple mobile it is directly asking for username and password . And it is getting authenticated .

Whereas in windows 7 laptop , I need to create the SSID profile(and need to choose the security type and all) for associating to that . Is there anyway that client will be able to connect without any SSID profling configuration in laptop ?..

Thanks ,

Regards,

Vijay.

If they are corporate devices, you can use a GPO to push the WLAN config down to your users.

Apple and other devices are smart and for ease of use figures out the auth and encryption.

Windows 7 not so much. You need to push the profile down or manually configure ..

Sadly no unless you add or push a profile. We use Intel and have a profile on each device.

Hello Vijay,

As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-

PEAP authenticates wireless LAN clients using only server-side digital certificates by creating an encrypted SSL/TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server. The tunnel then protects the subsequent user authentication exchange.

Follow these steps-

1.Open wifi settings

From the Home screen, press the Menu button and then select 'Settings'

2.Open Wireless & Networks

Select 'Wireless & networks'

3.Enable WiFi

If 'Wi-Fi' is Off, Select 'Wi-Fi'

4.Enter WiFi settings

Enter Wi-Fi settings

Select 'Wi-Fi settings'

5.Add SSID manually

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select 'Add Wi-Fi network'

Enter HC_Secure in the Name field

6.Set Security

Select 'Security' drop-down menu and select '802.1x Enterprise'

7.Authentication (Phase 2)

Select 'Phase 2 authentication' drop-down menu and select 'MSCHAPV2'

Note: You may need to scroll down on the page to access the 'Phase 2 authentication' drop-down menu

8. Enter your Account

Enter your HC Network ID in the 'Identity' field and the password in the 'Wireless password' field

Note: You must scroll down on the page to access these fields

9.Save

Select the 'Save' button

Hope this will help you.

Hi Abishek ,

Thanks for the reply . Actually i dont want to validate the serer site certifcate.And the problem is i dont want to configure these setttings in all the employee laptops , which is very difficult for us . We dont want IT team support for configuring wireless settings on employees laptop .

When the employee connects to broadcasted SSID, laptop should automatically find the security settings of that SSID.

Please help.
