2.3 Using a Specific Advanced Authentication Server

You can specify a certain Advanced Authentication server on a workstation that can be used when a workstation is joined to a domain, but user wants to force connection to a specific Advanced Authentication server and when a workstation with Windows Client is not joined to a domain.

In the C:\ProgramData\NetIQ\Windows Client\config.properties file, configure discovery.host = <IP_address|domain_name>.

For example, discovery.host = 192.168.20.40 or discovery.host = auth2.mycompany.local.

You can specify a port number (optional parameter) for the client-server interaction: discovery.port = <portnumber>.

NOTE:For Windows logon event, select the OS Logon (local) Event type if you want to use Windows Client on non-domain joined workstations.
