Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the Marathon and host computers when using any type of certificate.
Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
If using the Windows Certificate Store, the Windows Account must have a password. The password cannot be left

The Windows user account credentials need not be the same as the credentials entered in the Laird Configuration
