are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
If using the Windows Certificate Store, the Windows Account must have a password. The password cannot be left
blank. The Summit Client Utility uses the Windows user account credentials to access the Certificate Store. The
Windows user account credentials need not be the same as the wireless credentials entered in the Summit Client
