Name:
Do not prompt to authorize new server
Description:
If enabled, the authentication attempt will simply be abandoned if the server's certificate is not valid based on the Trusted Root Certification Authorities list installed on the client.
Values:
Checked
  The client will only authenticate to servers that possess a server certificate that is signed by a CA in the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities list. This is intended to prevent the user from inadvertently accepting a certificate for a network other that the configured one.
Unchecked
  User will be prompted if a certificate is presented by the server that is not signed by an entity in the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities list. This prompt is similar to the prompt provided by browsers when a site with a self-signed certificate is visited.
Default Value:
Unchecked
Recommended Setting:
If you have a certificate signed by a commercial Certificate Authority (like Thawte), leave this unchecked.
Cloudpath Help :
Cloudpath can detect the status of the 'Do Not Prompt to Authorize New Server' setting within the PEAP configuration.

Supported settings include:
Enabled - Default. When selected, Windows will not prompt the user to accept the server certificate if it does not match the 'Connect to These Servers' setting or the 'Trusted Root CAs' list.
Disabled - When selected, Windows will prompt when an unverified server certificate is received.

This setting is only applicable if Validate Server Certificate is set to 'Enabled'.
