Activators are custom conditions that must be met to assign a Network connection profile to a Network connection. If the connected network has the same attributes as defined in activators for a connected network profile, the profile will be applied to the network. A network connection profile can have one or multiple activators. If there are multiple activators, the OR logic applies (at least one condition must be met). You can define activators in the Network connection profile editor. Creating custom network connection profiles should be done by an experienced user.
The following Activators are available (If you want to know details for the network you are currently connected to, see Network connections):
Adapter
Adapter type—Apply profile if the network connection is established on the selected adapter type.
Adapter name—Apply profile if the network adapter name matches.
Adapter IP—Apply profile if the IP address of your network adapter matches.
|
DNS
DNS suffix—Apply profile if the domain name matches.
DNS IP—Apply the profile if the DNS server IP address matches.
|
WINS
Apply the profile if the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) mapped IP address matches.
|
DHCP
DHCP IP—Match the DHCP server IP address.
|
Default gateway
IP—Apply profile if the Default gateway IP address matches.
MAC address—Apply profile if the Default gateway MAC address matches.
|
Wi-Fi
SSID—Apply profile if the SSID (name of the Wi-Fi) matches.
Profile name—Apply profile if the Wi-Fi profile name matches.
Security type—Apply profile if the security type matches the one selected from the drop-down menu. If you want to match more than one, create another activator.
Encryption type—Apply profile if the encryption type matches the one selected from the drop-down menu. If you want to match more than one, create another activator.
Network security—Apply profile if the network is Open/Secured.
|
Windows profile
Apply profile if the network is configured in Windows as Domain/Private/Public.
|
Authentication
Network authentication searches for a specific server in the network and uses asymmetric encryption (RSA) to authenticate that server. The network's name being authenticated must match the name set in the authentication server settings. The name is case-sensitive. The server name can be typed as an IP address, DNS or NetBios name.
Download the ESET Authentication Server.
The public key can be imported using any of the following file types:
- PEM encrypted public key (.pem); you can generate this key using the ESET Authentication Server
- Encrypted public key
- Public key certificate (.crt)
Click Test to test your settings. If authentication is successful, Server authentication was successful is displayed. If authentication is not configured properly, one of the following error messages will display:
Server authentication failed. Invalid or mismatched signature.
Server signature does not match the public key entered.
Server authentication failed. Network name doesn't match.
The configured network name does not correspond with the authentication server network name. Review both names and ensure they are identical.
Server authentication failed. Invalid or no response from server.
No response is received if the server is not running or is inaccessible. An invalid response may be received if another HTTP server is running on the specified address.
Invalid public key entered.
Verify that the public key file you have entered is not corrupted.
