If The Pin Is Stored On The Computer; Restarting The Authentication Process - Cisco AIR-PCI340 Installation And Configuration Manual

Restarting the Authentication Process

Step 3 The client adapter should now EAP authenticate. To verify authentication, double-click My Computer,
Control Panel, and Network Connections. The status appears to the right of your Wireless Network
Connection. Click View and Refresh to obtain the current status. If the client adapter is authenticated,
the status reads Authentication succeeded.
Note

If the PIN Is Stored on the Computer

If you chose to store the PIN in the computer's registry, the EAP authentication process begins
automatically, and the client adapter should EAP authenticate and use the saved PIN to access the SIM
card.
These instructions are applicable after profile selection, card ejection and re-insertion, reboot, or logon.
Note
Note If the stored PIN is wrong and therefore rejected by the SIM, the EAP-SIM supplicant temporarily
changes the prompt mode to the default setting (Ask for my PIN once after I turn my computer on) in
order to prevent the SIM from locking up. Unless changed manually, this setting stays in effect until your
computer is powered off. Change your stored PIN on the SIM Authentication Properties screen.
To verify authentication, double-click My Computer, Control Panel, and Network Connections. The
status appears to the right of your Wireless Network Connection. Click View and Refresh to obtain the
current status. If the client adapter is authenticated, the status reads Authentication succeeded.
ACU and the Windows Wireless Network Connection icon in the Windows XP system tray may indicate

a connection status when authentication is still in the pending state or the authentication server fails to
respond.
Restarting the Authentication Process
If your client adapter was unable to authenticate using the specified username and password and you
have exhausted the retry limit (for example, LEAP tries only once to prevent you from being locked out
of the system), the current profile is disabled until you change the username or password, reboot your
computer, or eject and re-insert the client adapter. To force your client adapter to try to reauthenticate
using the username and password of the current profile, select Reauthenticate from ACM or the
Commands drop-down menu in ACU.
