Sign-On vs. Stored Credentials
When using wireless security that requires a user name and password to be entered, the Summit
Client Utility offers two choices:
• The Username and Password may be entered on the Credentials screen. If this
method is selected, anyone using the device can access the network.
• The Username and Password are left blank on the Credentials screen. When the
device attempts to connect to the network, a sign on screen is displayed. The user
must enter the Username and Password at that time to authenticate.
How to: Use Stored Credentials
1. After completing the other entries in the profile, click on the Credentials button.
2. Enter the Username and Password on the Credentials screen and click the OK button.
3. Click the Commit button.
4. For LEAP, WPA/LEAP and EAP-FAST with automatic PAC provisioning, configuration is
complete.
5. Access the Credentials screen again. Make sure the Validate server checkbox is checked fro
PEAP-MSCHAP and PEAP-GTC.
6. Make sure the certificate or manually created PAC has been copied to the directory specified
in the Certs Path global variable.
7. For EAP-FAST with manual PAC provisioning, enter the PAC Filename and Password.
8. For PEAP-MSCHAP and PEAP-GTC enter the CA certificate filename.
9. Click the OK button then the Commit button.
10. Verify the device is authenticated by reviewing the Status tab. When the device is property
configured, the Status tab indicates the device is Authenticated and the method used.
Notes: More details are provided in the appropriate Summit Wireless Security section following
in this chapter.
If invalid credentials are entered into the stored credentials, the authentication will fail.
No error message is displayed and the user is not prompted to enter valid credentials.
