Hi TC --
When you go into the remote access policy profile, on the Authentication
tab, you should *not* have any authentication methods selected at all --
all of the checkboxes should be cleared. If you check one of these
checkboxes, like MS-CHAP v2, you are not configuring PEAP -- you are
allowing clients to use a less secure authentication method (such as MS-
CHAP v2 without PEAP).
To configure PEAP, click on the "EAP Methods" button.
Then in the Select EAP Providers dialog box, click the Add button and
select "Protected EAP (PEAP)" and click OK. Next, configure the certificate
the server is going to use by clicking Edit. You can then pick the
Certificate issued, and enable Fast Reconnect if you want to (although it
doesn't sound like you need this). You will note that by default, at the
bottom of the "Edit Protected EAP Properties" dialog box, the EAP type is
Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2).
You can click the Edit button to review or change the number of
authentication retries or to alter whether the client can change password
after password expiration.
Obviously, in order to configure the server certificate for PEAP, you must
have a properly configured server cert. You can find info on this in the
product Help and on the Web:
Help topic "Network access authentication and certificates" in Windows
Server 2003 IAS or VPN Help, or on the web at
