This article describes how to set up PEAP-MSCHAPv2 on various Linux distributions. PEAP-MSCHAPv2 is a wireless authentication scheme used by Virginia Tech as an alternative to EAP-TLS for connections to VT-Wireless.

Set your remote access passphrase

Regardless of what software you use to establish your connection, you must first set your remote passphrase by going to my.vt.edu->Settings->Remote Passphrase.

NetworkManager

  • In your wireless configuration program, select VT-Wireless.
  • Choose PEAP as the EAP type.
  • Choose MSCHAPv2 as the authentication method.
  • Use your PID and remote passphrase as your login credentials.

wpa_supplicant

Add the following lines to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
	ssid="VT-Wireless"
	proto=WPA2
	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
	eap=PEAP
	phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
	identity="your PID"
	password="your passphrase"
}
