NOTE: The CA certicate must be installed on the thin client. Also note that the server certicate text
eld supports a maximum of approximately 255 characters, and supports multiple server names.
– If you select the Connect to these servers check box, the box is enabled where you can enter the IP address of
server.

The following kinds of server names are supported — all examples are based on Cert Common name
company.dell.com
◦ *.dell.com
◦ *dell.com
◦ *.com
NOTE: Using only the FQDN, that is, company.dell.com does not work. You must use one of the options (note
that *.dell.com is the most common option as multiple authentication servers may exist):
servername.dell.com.
• LEAP—If you select the LEAP option, click Properties to open and congure the Authentication Properties dialog
box. Be sure to use the correct username and password for authentication. The maximum length for the username or
the password is 31 characters.
• PEAP—If you select the PEAP option, click Properties to open and congure the Authentication Properties dialog
box. Be sure to select either EAP_GTC or EAP_MSCHAPv2, and then use the correct username, password and domain.
Validate Server Certicate is optional.
• FAST—If you select the FAST option, click Properties to open and congure the Authentication Properties dialog box.
Be sure to select either EAP_GTC or EAP_MSCHAPv2, and then use the correct username, password and domain.
Validate Server Certicate is optional.
From ThinOS 8.3, EAP-FAST authentication is supported. During the initial connection, when there is a request for a
Tunnel PAC from the authenticator, the PAC is used to complete the authentication. Therefore, the rst time connection
always fails and the following connections succeed. Only automatic PAC provisioning is supported. The user/machine
PAC provisioning generated with Cisco EAP-FAST utility is not supported.
Conguring EAP-GTC and EAP-MSCHAPV2
• To congure EAP-GTC, enter the username only. The password or PIN is required when authenticating.
• To congure EAP-MSCHAPv2, enter the username, password and domain.
NOTE: The domain\username in the username box is supported, but you must leave the domain box blank.
The CA certicate must be installed on the thin client and the server certicate is forced to be validated. When EAP-
MSCCHAPV2 is selected as EAP type in the Authentication Properties dialog box for PEAP or FAST authentication, an
option to hide the domain is available for selection. Username and Password boxes are available for use, but the Domain
text box is disabled.
When EAP-MSCHAPV2 is selected as EAP type in the Authentication Properties dialog box for PEAP or FAST
authentication, a check box to enable Single Sign-On feature is available for selection.
