The TLS authentication types (also called SmartCard) allow
you to import a User Certificate provided by your IT
administrator and use alternate IDs (in Advanced Options) in
the encryption.
The other encryption types allow you to enter a User Name
and Password. These encryption types are not as secure as
the TLS encryption types.
