EAP Registry Settings

The setup software for the EAP dynamic-link library (DLL) can create a set of registry keys and values for the extension protocol. These keys and values should be located under the following registry path with <eaptyeid> being the identifier of the authentication protocol:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Eap\Extension\<eaptypeid>

Note   The default registry values vary depending on which features are included in your platform. For more information, see Default Registry Settings.

The following table shows possible registry values for an EAP extension protocol.

Value : type Description
Path : REG_EXPAND_SZ Specifies the path to the EAP DLL.
FriendlyName : REG_SZ Specifies a friendly name for the authentication protocol. This name will appear in the Dial-up Networking user interface (UI).
ConfigUIPath : REG_EXPAND_SZ Specifies the path to the DLL that implements the configuration UI.
ConfigData : REG_BINARY Specifies default configuration data for the authentication protocol.
RequireConfigUI : REG_DWORD Specifies whether the user must provide configuration data in the Dial-up Networking UI. If this value is 1, the user will not be allowed to exit the Dial-up Networking UI without providing configuration data. The default value is zero.
IdentityPath : REG_EXPAND_SZ Specifies the path to the DLL that implements functions to obtain the user's identity.
InteractiveUIPath : REG_EXPAND_SZ Specifies the path to the DLL that implements the interactive UI.
InvokeUsernameDialog : REG_DWORD Specifies whether RAS should display the standard user name dialog box, with a value of 1, or invoke RasEapGetIdentity, with a value of zero. The default value is 1.
InvokePasswordDialog : REG_DWORD Specifies whether RAS should display the standard password dialog. If this value exists and is zero, RAS will not display the password dialog. The default value is 1.
MPPEEncryptionSupported : REG_DWORD If this value is 1, the authentication protocol can generate keys for the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) style of encryption. Possible values are zero or 1. The default value is zero.
StandaloneSupported : REG_DWORD Specifies whether this authentication protocol is supported. A value of zero indicates that the EAP is not supported. The default value is 1.

Note   RAS_EAP_VALUENAME_PATH and RAS_EAP_VALUENAME_FRIENDLY_NAME are required values.
