Pre-Logon/Common Connection
Pre-logon/Common profiles are applied prior to a user log on. If Single Sign On support is
installed, the connection is made prior to the Windows log on sequence (Pre-logon/Common).
If Single Sign On support is not installed, the profile is applied once the user session is active.
Pre-logon/Common profiles always appear at the top of a the Profiles list. Users can still
prioritize profiles that they have created but they cannot reprioritize Pre-logon/Common profiles.
Because these profiles appear at the top of the profiles list, Intel PROSet/Wireless automatically
attempts to connect to the Administrator profiles first before any user created profiles.
NOTE: Only administrators can create or export Pre-logon/Common profiles.
Pre-logon/Common Connect key points are:
● Pre-logon/Common Connect is active only at the Windows log on.
● The following types of profiles can be created as Pre-logon/Common profiles:
❍ 802.1x PEAP, TTLS or EAP-FAST profiles that use either the "Use Windows Logon
user name and password" or "Use the following user name and password"
credentials when configuring the profile's security settings.
❍ LEAP profiles that use the "Prompt for the 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
