18  Menu Options
 Cache PIN (EE and FE Only)—With this option enabled, OAC caches the
PIN that you enter and does not prompt for a PIN. If you disable this
option, OAC clears the PIN information from the cache and will not cache
the PIN when a PIN prompt occurs. The cache is also cleared when you log
out. This option is enabled by default.
Wireless Suppression
If enabled, wireless suppression defaults to a wired network connection as long as
you have one. Wireless suppression uses a wireless connection only if there is no
wired connection available. To enable this feature, select Use wireless connection
only when no wired (ethernet) connection is present
. Contact your network
administrator before changing this setting. See “Enabling Session Resumption” on
page 18.
Preemptive Networks
(EE and FE Only)
Use this option to connect to a preferred network or auto-scan list if it is present.
See “Scanning for Available Networks” on page 59.
EAP-FAST
When you use EAP-FAST authentication, you can select from options that
determine when to prompt for credentials. The options are:
 Prompt before acquiring credentials from a new server. Use this option to be
prompted for new credentials whenever you authenticate with a new server.
 Prompt before replacing credentials from a known server when your
existing credentials have failed. Use this option to be prompted for new
credentials if a previous authentication attempt fails.
Both EAP-FAST options are enabled by default. To restore the defaults, select
Reset Defaults.
Enabling Session Resumption
After you have been authenticated to the network and a network connection is
open, your network session begins. During a session, any subsequent
authentications to the same network server can be accelerated by reusing the secret
information that is derived during the first authentication. This is called session
resumption. You can configure client-side session resumption features that apply to
the certificate-based protocols (such as TLS) using OAC. See “Session Resumption”
on page 104 for more information.
To enable session resumption:
1. Go to Tools > Options > Security.
2. Select Enable session resumption.
NOTE: Smart card prompts and caching are disabled with FIPS Mode turned on.
