From the menu, select the level of security you require to encrypt the host connect.

Reflection Certificate Manager Click this option to use certificates managed by the Certificate Manager to authenticate host connections.
Verify host certificate name Validates the certificate by ensuring that the name on the certificate is the same as the host to which the connection is being made.
Use CRL Determines whether a certificate can be trusted by making sure that it isn't included in the Certificate Authority's certificate revocation list (CRL).
Use OCSP Determines whether a certificate can be trusted by having an online certificate status protocol (OCSP) responder respond to certificate status requests. The OCSP returns one of three digitally signed responses: "good", "revoked", and "unknown". Using an OCSP removes the need for servers and/or clients to retrieve and sort through large CRLs.
