38  Adding or Modifying a Profile
The Profiles dialog lists the configured profiles. The list might include a default
profile, called Initial Profile, containing common settings. You can use this as a
guideline for setting up other profiles. Your network administrator might have
created profiles for you already.
Adding or Modifying a Profile
This section describes how to create an authentication profile. It describes each of
the configuration settings and walks you through each element in the Profile
Properties dialog.
 To add a profile, click Add.
 To modify profile properties, click Properties.
Both dialogs display the same settings. You can use either one. Figure 9 is a sample
Profile Properties dialog.

Each profile reflects the logon and authentication information required for that
network and contains the following categories of information:
 Profile name—The name of the profile that you are creating or editing.
 User Information—Your login name and the means used to authenticate your
identity (password, certificate, or other user credentials).
 Authentication—The authentication protocol to be used. Depending on the
authentication protocol that you specify, there are other settings that might
apply. See “Setting Up Authentication” on page 44.
