EAP SIM Authentication by Cisco350 adaptor and SimReader(Gemplus/standard)

smathew123 — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 17:16:42 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to get the EAP SIM client Supplicant (Installed on laptop using Cisco 350 adaptor) which is connected to Cisco1230 AP and Radius Server. I know this cofiguration works because I have tested with Gemplus EAP sim client.

But on cisco as soon as the PIN Code for the SIM is requested and entered and during Validating Identity phase, I get error "Please check your smartcard reader and SIM card, then try again."

Though this is standard error message given in the cisco document, Since I know the SIM Reader is a working one I am not able to go forward.

Could you guys please help me out, by letting me know what am I missing

Thankyou in advance

regards

Stanley

EAP-SIMEAP-SIM authentication is designed for use in public wireless LANs and requires clients equipped with PCSC-compliant smartcard readers. The EAP-SIM supplicant included in the Install Wizard file supports only Gemplus SIM+ cards; however, an updated supplicant is available that supports standard GSM-SIM cards as well as more recent versions of the EAP-SIM protocol. The new supplicant is available for download from the ftpeng FTP server at the following URL:

ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/ftp/pwlan/eapsim/CiscoEapSim.dll

Please note that the above requirements are necessary but not sufficient to successfully perform EAP-SIM authentication. Typically, you are also required to enter into a service contract with a WLAN service provider, who must support EAP-SIM authentication in its network. Also, while your PCSC smartcard reader may be able to read standard GSM-SIM cards or chips, EAP-SIM authentication usually requires your GSM cell phone account to be provisioned for WLAN service by your service provider.

EAP-SIM is enabled or disabled through the operating system and uses a dynamic session-based WEP key, which is derived from the client adapter and RADIUS server, to encrypt data. EAP-SIM requires you to enter a user verification code, or PIN, for communication with the SIM card. You can choose to have the PIN stored in your computer or to be prompted to enter it after a reboot or prior to every authentication attempt.

RADIUS servers that support EAP-SIM include Cisco Access Registrar release 3.0 or greater.

Hi,

We have tired the latest Cisco EAP SIM supplicant (9th Nov 2004) which is compatible with EAP SIM Draft V5. However, it doesnt seem to be working with EAP-SIM servers that support V11 and above.

Could you please provide more insight on this issue or if you have and links which has Supplicant compatible to EAP SIM v11 it would be great.

Thanks

Stanley

I intend to use EAP-SIM with WPA or possibly WPA2.

Is there a problem with your statement that SIM uses dymamic WEP only ?

Please clarify
