This option allows you to ensure a secure connection between a workstation and Advanced Authentication Servers with a valid self-signed SSL certificate, thus preventing any attacks on the connection and ensuring safe authentication.
The option for verification of server certificates is disabled by default. You must start by importing the trusted certificates to the Local Computer\Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder.
To enable verification of the server certificates, perform the following steps:
Open the configuration file C:\ProgramData\NetIQ\Windows Client\config.properties.
If the file does not exist, create a new file.
Specify verifyServerCertificate: true (default value is false).
Restart the machine.
NOTE:You must upload the SSL certificate in the Administration portal > Server Options. The SSL certificate provides high level of encryption, security, and trust. For more information about how to upload the SSL certificate, see Uploading the SSL Certificate.
