Configure Passpoint Policy NAI Realm

About this task

The Network Access Identifier (NAI) is the user identity submitted by the hotspot requesting client during authentication. The standard syntax is user@realm. NAI is frequently used when roaming, to identify the user and assist in routing an authentication request to the user's authentication server. The realm name is often the domain name of the service provider.

Procedure

  1. Select Policies > Passpoint > Policy Name > NAI Realm.
  2. Select to create a new NAI realm configuration for passpoint hotspot utilization, to modify the attributes of an existing configuration, or to remove a selected configuration from the existing policies.

    Provide a realm name.

  3. Set the following EAP Method attributes to secure the NAI realm used by the passpoint policy:
    Index Select an EAP instance index from 1 to 10 to apply to this hotspot‘s EAP credential exchange and verification session. NAIs are often user identifiers in the EAP authentication protocol
