Intel 3945ABG - Manual (Page 102)

❍
802.1x MD5 , LEAP , EAP-FAST profiles that use either the "Use the Windows logon
user name and password" or "Use the following user name and password"
credentials when configuring the profile's security settings.
❍
802.1x PEAP or TTLS profiles with user or machine certificates (the user must have
administrative rights to use machine certificates).
❍
TLS profiles that use digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and a
server.
❍
EAP-SIM profiles that use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to validate your
credentials with the network.
❍
All non-802.1x (Open and WEP) Common or User Based profiles.
●
A Pre-Logon profile is applied at Windows user log-on time.
Pre-Logon/Common Connection Status
Pre-Logon support is installed during a Custom install of the Intel PROSet/Wireless software.
Refer to Install and Uninstall the Software for more information.
NOTE: If the Single Sign On or Pre-Logon Connect features are not installed, an
administrator is still able to create Pre-Logon/Common profiles for export to a
user's computer.
The following describes how the Pre-Logon Connect feature functions from system power-up.
The assumption is that there is a saved profile with valid security settings marked with "Use
Windows Logon user name and password" that are applied at the time of Windows log on.
1. After a system power-up, enter your Windows log on domain, user name, and password.
2. Click OK. The Pre-Logon profile Status page displays the progress of the network
connection. After the wireless adapter is connected to the network access point, the
Status page closes and the Windows user logs on.
●
If the corresponding access point rejects your credentials during the Pre-Logon
connect, the profile credentials prompts you for your user credentials.
●
Enter your credentials.
●
Click OK. The profile is applied and the Status page displays the progress of the
connection status until you are logged onto Windows.
●
Click Cancel on the Credentials page to select another profile.
NOTE: A user certificate can only be accessed by a user that has been
authenticated on the computer. Therefore, a user should log onto the computer
once (using either a wired connection, alternate profile or local log in) before using
a pre-logon profile that authenticates with a user certificate
When a user logs off, any wireless connection is disconnected and a persistent profile (if one is
available) is applied. Under certain circumstances it is desirable to maintain the current
connection (for example, if user specific data needs to be uploaded to the server post-log off or
when roaming profiles are used).
Create a profile which is marked as both pre-logon and persistent to achieve this functionality.
