Appendix E
If you enter a server name and the client adapter connects to a server that does not match the
name you entered, you are prompted to accept or cancel the connection during the authentication
process.
If you leave this field blank, the server name is not verified, and a connection is established as
long as the certificate is valid.
If you leave all check boxes unchecked, you are prompted to accept a connection to the root
certification authority during the authentication process.
You should not be prompted to accept a certificate for future authentication attempts. After you
accept one, the same certificate is used subsequently.
Whenever the computer reboots and you enter your Windows username and password, the EAP
authentication process begins automatically and the client adapter should EAP authenticate.
