If you select Smart Card or other Certificate in EAP type, you can configure additional properties. If you select Properties in Smart Card or other Certificate Properties, do the following:

❑To use the certificate that resides on your smart card for authentication, select Use my smart card.

❑To use the certificate that resides in the certificate store on your computer for authentication, select Use a certificate on this computer.

❑To verify that the server certificate presented to your computer is still valid, select the Validate server certificate check box, specify whether to connect only if the server resides within a particular domain, and then specify the trusted root certification authority.

❑To use a different user name when the user name in the smart card or certificate is not the same as the user name in the domain to which you are logging on, select the Use a different user name for the connection check box.

To specify whether the computer should attempt authentication to the network if a user is not logged on and/or if the computer or user information is not available, do the following:

❑To specify that the computer attempt authentication to the network if a user is not logged on, select the Authenticate as computer when computer information is available check box.

❑To specify that the computer attempt authentication to the network if user information or computer information is not available, select the Authenticate as guest when user or computer information is unavailable check box. This check box is selected by default

Notes on Authentication:

❑To configure settings on the Authentication tab, you must be a member of the local Administrators group.

❑For wired and wireless network connections, the settings in the Authentication tab apply to the network to which you are currently connected. If you are currently connected to a wireless network, you can verify the name of the network by selecting the Wireless Networks tab. The name of the network will appear in Visible networks and Preferred networks, and it will be preceded by an icon with a circle around it.
