Client Certificate Selection
Window (shown in

Users can select one suitable certificate as Client Certificate. (Default: OFF)
Tunnel Authentication:
PEAP and TTLS use two-step authentication method. The first
step is that Server sets up a Tunnel with its authentication. No option is need to be
set for Client (the PC with the Adapter). The second step is to confirm the validity of
Client with assigned authentication type in the Tunnel. Data needed for
authentication includes Tunnel ID, Tunnel Password, Client Certificate or Server
Authentication.
