Managing Untrusted Servers
Under the following conditions, you can trust a previously untrusted server during
network authentication:
 You have enabled temporary trust.
 The authenticating profile mandates server validation.
 The trusted root certificate authority that issued the server certificate is the
trusted root CA of a certificate installed on your client machine. (In the example
below, the certificate is issued by AcmeRootCA.)
In this case, a Service dialog appears while you are authenticating to the network.
The Service dialog shows the entire certificate chain between the authentication
server and a trusted root certificate authority.
To see detailed information for a certificate in the chain:
1. Select the certificate.
2. Click View.
To trust this server temporarily while you authenticate and connect to the network,
click Yes; otherwise, click No.
You might be prompted to enter your password, depending on the profile that you
set up for this connection. If you click Yes, temporary trust will be sustained until
you restart OAC or select Forget temporary trust from the Tools menu.
