  2. Click Manage Wi-Fi profiles.
  3. Click the name of the Wi-Fi profile that you want to configure.
  4. Click Edit profile.
  5. On the Wi-Fi profile settings tab, perform the following actions:
    • In the Wi-Fi User Name field, type the user name for PEAP authentication.
    • In the Wi-Fi User Password field, type the password for PEAP authentication.
  6. If necessary, on the Wi-Fi profile settings tab, configure the following configuration settings:
    • Wi-Fi Link Security
    • Wi-Fi Hard Token Required
    • Wi-Fi Server Subject
    • Wi-Fi Server SAN
    • Wi-Fi Disable Server Certificate Validation
  7. Click Save All.
After you finish:
