test PEAP

[Jim Shi]

 I try test PEAP following steps described in 
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/howto_incremental_setup_freeradius_server_eap_authentications

it says to send the following to radius server:

$ cat eapol_test.conf.peap
network={
eap=PEAP
eapol_flags=0
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
identity="testuser"
password="password"
ca_cert="/home/gcheng/myCA/cacert.pem"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
anonymous_identity="anonymous"
}

When running the test, I noticed that it sends “anonymous” user to the server  and the server try to authenticate user “anonymous” and failed.
Any ideas what is “anonymous” here?  Do we need set up password for “anonymous” on the server?


Thanks
Jim
