1. Log configuration

All SecureW2 EAP methods have a logging capability. This is controled using the Microsoft Tracing functionality located in the Windows registry.

To access the log configuration open the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tracing\[EAP method]

For example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tracing\EAP-TTLS

The following registry entries control the logging:

Registry Entry	Description
EnableFileTracing	1 will enable the logging, 0 will disable the logging. The entry is a DWORD.
MaxFileSize	This determines the size of the log file and when it should rotate the file. The entry is a DWORD. For example HEX 0x100000 would indicate a size of 1048576 bytes.
FileDirectory	The directory for the log file. The name of the log file is the name of the EAP method. For example c:\windows\tracing\EAP-TTLS.LOG (EAP-TTLS.OLD for a rotated file).
FileTracingMask	SecureW2 offers 4 basic log levels. The entry is a DWORD.
		Type	Flag (Hex)	Description
		Error	0x10000	This level will log only error messages.
		Warning	0x30000	This level will log additional warnings
		Info	0x70000	This level will log information concerning the current state of the EAP method.
		Debug	0xf0000	This will show information such as packet dumps.
NOTE: Defining a level means you will receive the information defined by the specific level and all the levels below it. For example defining Info will instruct SecureW2 to log Errors, Warnings and Info messages.
NOTE: FileTraceMask is available from version EapSuite 1.1.0 and on.

2. Pre-Configuration

The SecureW2 installer searches for a pre-configuration file: SecureW2.inf file during installation. If found it executes the script. If not found it will continue as usual. SecureW2 uses the current directory in which it was executed to search for the SecureW2.inf file.

This is the configuration guide for version 3.3.0 and EapSuite 1.0.0 and higher.

For 3.2.0 and lower see:

http://www.securew2.org/wiki/AdminGuide320

Changes in EapSuite 2.0.0:

(NEW) [WZCSVC]/[DOT3SVC]] Startup can now be any of the following: START/STOP/AUTO/DISABLED

Changes in EapSuite 1.1.3:

[SSID.n] Name -> SSID
(NEW) [SSID.n] Name is used to define multiple profiles for an SSID
(NEW) EAPType can be used to specify the EAP Type to be configured for the SSID (EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP)

Changes in EapSuite 1.1.2:

(NEW) UseComputerCredentials
(NEW) UseGuestCredentials

Changes in EapSuite 1.0.0:

(NEW) AltProfileStr

Changes in 3.3.0:

EnableSessionResumption -> UseSessionResumption
UseAlternateIdentity -> UseAlternateOuterIdentity
UseAnonymousIdentity -> UseAnonymousOuterIdentity
VerifyServerName -> ServerName (Used together with BOOLEAN VerifyServerName)
(NEW) UseEmptyOuterIdentity
Certificate configuration no longer requires subordinate CA's to be installed
ConnectionMode and ConnectionType now also available for Windows XP SP2

2.1. Building your own setup

For organizations willing to distribute SecureW2 within their organization with their own SecureW2.inf it is possible to package the SecureW2.inf, SecureW2_xxx.exe and certificates in an installation program that unpacks the file to a temporary directory and then runs the installer.

NOTE: it is important that the SecureW2 installation program is visible to the user due to the license agreement.

An example of such an installation program is NSIS, a free open source installer from NULLSoft. The following link is an NSIS installer example script for SecureW2 that allows you to create your own SecureW2 installer: http://www.securew2.com/resources/SecureW2_example.NSI

2.2. Basic INF File

The SecureW2 pre-configuration file is based on a Microsoft INF File. There are different sections each depicting how SecureW2 is to be configured.

Each INF file must contain the following section, if not SecureW2 will not be able to read the file:

   1 [Version] 
   2 Signature  = "$Windows NT$" 
   3 Provider   = "SecureW2" 
   4 Config     = 7

Comments can be added in the INF file using a semicolon. A semicolon is also used to disable lines. Attributes that are not defined will be set to their Default value.

Example of a comment in the INF file:

   1 ; This is a comment

Example of a enabled/disabled line in the INF file:

   1 attribute1 = I am not disabled
   2 ; attribute2 = I am disabled

2.3. Global Configuration

2.3.1. [WZCSVC]

Use this section to set the state of the Wireless Zero Configuration Service of Microsoft.

Option	Description	Type	Default value
Startup	This will start the WZCSVC service. AUTO indicates the service startup type will be changed to automatic and the service will be started. START indicates the service startup type will not be changed and the service will be started. STOP indicates the service startup type will not be changed and the service will be stopped. DISABLED indicates the service will be disabled and the service will be stopped.	String	AUTO
Restart	true indicates the service will be re-started before installation. false	Boolean	false
Both options will start the WZCSVC before installation.

Example:

   1 [WZCSVC]
   2 Startup = AUTO
   3 Restart = TRUE

2.3.2. [DOT3SVC]

Use this tag to set the state of the Wired Zero Configuration Service of Microsoft.

Option	Description	Type	Default Value
Startup	This will start the DOT3SVC service. AUTO indicates the service startup type will be changed to automatic and the service will be started. START indicates the service startup type will not be changed and the service will be started. STOP indicates the service startup type will not be changed and the service will be stopped. DISABLED indicates the service will be disabled and the service will be stopped.	String	AUTO
Restart	true indicates the service will be re-started before installation. false	Boolean	false
Both options will start the DOT3SVC before installation.

Example:

   1 [DOT3SVC]
   2 Startup = AUTO
   3 Restart = TRUE

2.3.3. Certificates

In the Certificates section you must define your certificate chain.

Option	Description	Type	Default Value
Certificate.n	Set the location of the certificate relative to the SecureW2.inf file. The value “n” should start at 0 or 1 and be incremented with each new certificate. Currently only DER encoded X.509 certificates are supported.	String	empty
Certificate.0 is optional but if defined must always refer to the TTLS Server certificate. The rest of the chain (“Certificate.n”) should refer to certificates that are either Subordinate CA’s or Root CA’s.

The following example shows a certificate chain containing a TTLS certificate, a Subordinate CA certificate and the Root CA certificate:

   1 [Certificates] 
   2 
   3 Certificate.0 = ttls.cer 
   4 Certificate.1 = subca.cer 
   5 Certificate.2 = rootca.cer

2.3.3.1. Retrieving/Converting Certificates

To retrieve your CA and TTLS certificates and convert them to DER encoding you can use the following options:

1. On your radius server simply use the following openssl command to convert your CA and TTLS PEM certificates to DER encoding:

openssl x509 -inform PEM -outform DER -in ttls.pem –out ttls.der

2. On a computer (Windows) running SecureW2 that already trusts your TTLS server the certificates have already been installed in the local certificate store of that computer. To retrieve the certificates you can use the “Microsoft Management Console” and the “Certificates” snap-in:

To use the MMC do the following:

Click on the “Start” menu
Click on the “Run” option
Enter the following command: mmc (This will start-up a new Microsoft Management Console in which you can add snap-ins allowing you to control the different aspects of your computer.)
Select “File” in the top menu
Select “Add/Remove snap-in” You are presented with the “Add/Remove snap-in” window in which you can select the snap-in’s you wish to use.
In “Standalone” tab click on the “Add” button You are now presented with the “Add snap-in” window showing the different snap-in’s that are available.
Select the “Certificates” snap-in and click on the “Add” button.
When asked which certificates are to be managed select “Computer account”.
When asked for which computer the certificates are to be managed select “Local computer” and click on “Finish”.
Click on “Close” to return to the “Add/Remove snap-in” window that now shows the “Certificates” snap-in.
Click on “Ok” to return to the main MMC window.
To find the CA certificate installed by SecureW2 expand the certificates snap-in so you can view the certificates in the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”.
Look for your CA certificates and right click on the certificate and select “All Tasks” and then ”Export…”.
You are now presented with the “Certificate Export Wizard”. Run through the wizard and export the certificates using DER encoding to a location of your choosing.

2.4. SSID Configuration

The following describes how to configure the different SSID ytou want to use and enable for SecureW2.

2.4.1. [SSID.n]

Each [SSID.n] section describes a different SSID configuration where n is the number of the SSID section. This number must start at 1 and be incremented with each new SSID section.

Per SSID section you MUST define the following options:

Option	Description	Type
SSID	Use this to set the name of the SSID.	String
Name	Use this to set the name of the SSID profile in Windows. This options allows one to define multiple profiles for the same SSID. This only works in Vista, in Windows 2K and Windows XP the last defined profile is used	String
Profile	The SecureW2 TTLS Client Profile that is to be used for this SSID	String

IMPORTANT: Do not use spaces in the profile string, this might cause problems when having two profile such as "Eduroam Wireless" and "Eduroam".

Per SSID section you MAY define the following optional options (Options that are not defined in a SSID section will be set to their Default value):

Option	Description	Type	Default Value
AuthenticationMode	Use this to set the type of authentication mode for this SSID.	String	Open
EncryptionType	Use this to set the type of encryption for this SSID.	String	WEP
NonBroadcast	Use this to indicate if the SSID is broadcasted by the Access Point or not.	Boolean	false
ConnectionMode	Use this to if the SSID should be connected to automatically or by manually. Valid options are auto and manual	String	auto
ConnectionType	Use this to set the operating mode of the network. Valid options are ESS (infrastructure network) and BSS (ad-hoc network).	String	ESS
UseComputerCredentials	This controls the "Use computer credentials if available" option. Setting this to TRUE will tell Windows to use computer credentials, if available, to authenticate (during startup).	Boolean	true
UseGuestCredentials	This controls the "Use guest credentials if available" option. Setting this to TRUE will tell Windows to use guest credentials, if available, to authenticate.	Boolean	false
The following is only available in Windows Vista
AutoSwitch	This option determines the roaming behaviour of an auto-connected network when a more preferred network is in range.	Boolean	false
EAPType	This option determines which EAP type to use. Possible options are 21 = TTLS, 25 = PEAP.	Numeric	21

'NOTE: The options described above are case sensitive. Best practise is to use the case shown in this document'

In Windows Vista and XP description of the security configuration items is slightly different. The following table shows which security configurations are available in Windows Vista and XP and their corresponding SecureW2 configuration items:

Windows Option	SecureW2 Configuration
WPA-Enterprise	AuthenticationMode = "WPA", EncryptionType = "TKIP" or EncryptionType = "AES"
WPA2-Enterprise	AuthenticationMode = "WPA2", EncryptionType = "TKIP" or EncryptionType = "AES"
802.1X	AuthenticationMode = "Open", EncryptionType = "WEP"
Not used with SecureW2 (without 802.1X/EAP)
WPA-Personal	AuthenticationMode = "WPA", EncryptionType = "TKIP" or EncryptionType = "AES"
WPA2-Personal	AuthenticationMode = "WPA2", EncryptionType = "TKIP" or EncryptionType = "AES"

   1 [SSID.1]
   2 Name = INSECURESSID 
   3 Profile = "Default"

  15 EncryptionType = "TKIP"
  16 ConnectionMode = "auto"
  17 ConnectionType = "ESS"
  18 NonBroadcast = "true"
  19 AutoSwitch = "false"

2.5. Profile Configuration

The following describes how to configure the different SecureW2 Client Profiles you want to use.

2.5.1. [Profile.n]

Each [Profile.n] section describes a different Profile configuration where n is the number of the Profile section. This number must start at 1 and be incremented with each new Profile section.

Per Profile section you MUST define the following options:

Option	Description	Type
Name	Use this to set the name of the Profile.	String

Per Profile section you MAY define the following optional options (Options that are not defined in a Profile section will be set to their Default value):

Option	Description	Type	Default Value
General
Description	The SecureW2 TTLS Client Profile that is to be used for this SSID.	String	empty
Localization
AltUsernameString	Allows you to overide the Username label in the user interface	String	empty
AltPasswordStr	Allows you to overide the Password label in the user interface	String	empty
AltRePasswordStr	Allows you to overide the Second Password label in the user interface	String	empty

AltCredsTitle	Allows you to overide the titel of the windows in the user interface	String	empty
AltProfileStr	Allows you to overide the Profile label in the user interface	String	empty
Connection
UseAlternateOuterIdentity	This option instructs SecureW2 to use an alternate outer identity.	Boolean	true
UseAnonymousOuterIdentity	This option controls which alternate outer identity SecureW2 uses. true indicates the outer identity will be anonymous@domain. false instructs SecureW2 to use the value defined in AlternateOuterIdentity	Boolean	true
AlternateOuterIdentity	The value defined by this attribute is used as the outer identity. This option is only valid if UseAnonymousIdentity is false	String	empty
UseSessionResumption	Enabling this option instructs SecureW2 to use session resumption (quick connect)	Boolean	false
Certificates
VerifyServerCertificate	Enabling this option instructs SecureW2 verify the TTLS server certificate	Boolean	true
TrustedRootCA.n	Each TrustedRootCA.n option defines a root certificate that will be trusted by SecureW2 where "n" is the number of the TrustedRootCA option. This number must start at 0 and be incremented with each new TrustedRootCA option. This option often coincides with the global certificate configuration. The value of this option is the hexadecimal string of the SHA1 hash of the Trusted Root CA certificate. SecureW2 uses this to find the correct Root CA certificate installed on the local computer. To retrieve the hexadecimal SHA1 value of a certificate in Windows, double-click on the certificate. In the Certificate window select the Details tab. The SHA1 value is listed as the Thumbprint. Using openssl use the following command: openssl sha1 < ttls.cer. The hexadecimal string should not contain spaces.	String	empty
VerifyServerName	Use this option to indicate you want to verify the ServerName. Use together with the option ServerName.	Boolean	FALSE
ServerName	Use this option to define value that will be used to verify the common name in the certificate of the TTLS server.	String	empty
Authentication
AuthenticationMethod	Use this option to define the inner authentication method used by SecureW2 to authenticate the user. Currently this can be two values: 'PAP' or 'EAP'.	String	PAP
EAPType	If EAP has been selected as the AuthenticationMethod the value defined by this option is the EAP-Type that is to be used. The following EAP methods are available (depending on the EAP methods installed on the local computer): '4' (EAP-MD5) , '26' = EAP-MSCHAP v2	Numeric	0
User account
PromptUserForCredentials	Set this option to instruct SecureW2 to prompt the user for credentials during authentication.	Boolean	true
UserName	If the option PromptUserForCredentials is set to false then setting this value to PROMPTUSER instructs the SecureW2 installer to prompt the user for credentials during installation.	String	empty
UserDomain	Set this option to the pre-configured domain name to use during installation.	String	empty
UseUserCredentialsForComputer	Enabling this option instructs SecureW2 to use the user credentials to logon the computer.	Boolean	false
AllowCachePW	Setting this to FALSE disables the "Save credentials" option in the popup.	Boolean	TRUE
Advanced
UseAlternateComputerCredentials	Enabling this option instructs SecureW2 to use the following three credentials for a computer logon.	Boolean	false
ComputerName	The user name to use during a computer logon.	String	empty
ComputerPassword	The password to use during a computer logon.	String	empty
ComputerDomain	The domain to use during a computer logon.	String	empty
ServerCertificateOnLocalComputer	Enabling this option instructs SecureW2 to verify if the TTLS certificate is installed on the local computer.	Boolean	false
CheckForMicrosoftExtension	Enabling this option instructs SecureW2 to verify if the TTLS certificate contains the correct Microsoft Extended Key Usage.	Boolean	false
AllowNewConnections	Enabling this option instructs SecureW2 to allow users to setup new connections.	Boolean	false
