174 Thor VM1 with Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009 User Guide
Sign-On vs. Stored Credentials
When using wireless security that requires a user name and password to be entered, the
Summit Client Utility offers these choices:
• The Username and Password may be entered on the Credentials screen. If this
method is selected, anyone using the device can access the network.
• The Username and Password are left blank on the Credentials screen. When the
device attempts to connect to the network, a sign on screen is displayed. The user
must enter the Username and Password at that time to authenticate.
• When using Summit with the Thor VM1, there is an option on the Global tab to use
the Windows user name and password to log on instead of any username and
password stored in the profile.
The credentials login and password entry window may not always display in the fore-
ground. When the Thor VM1 attempts to connect to the network, click the flashing icon
in the Notification bar to display the login screen. Enter the user name and password
and click OK to close the window. This procedure may need to be followed after the fol-
lowing events:
• The Thor VM1 returns from sleep, hibernate or sleep
• The Thor VM1 is restarted
• A different active profile is selected from the Configuration tab
• Invalid credentials have been entered
To Use Stored Credentials
1. After completing the other entries in the profile, click on the Credentials button.
2. Enter the Username and Password on the Credentials screen and click the OK
button.
3. Click the Commit button.
4. For LEAP and WPA/LEAP, configuration is complete.
5. For PEAP-MSCHAP and PEAP-GTC, importing the CA certificate into the Windows
certificate store is optional.
6. For EAP-TLS, import the CA certificate into the Windows certificate store. Also
import the User Certificate into the Windows certificate store.
7. Access the Credentials screen again. Make sure the Validate server and Use MS
store checkboxes are checked.
8. The default is to use the entire certificate store for the CA certificate. Alternatively,
use the Browse button next to the CA Cert (CA Certificate Filename) on the
Credentials screen to select an individual certificate.
9. For EAP-TLS, also enter the User Cert (User Certificate filename) on the credentials
screen by using the Browse button.
