Re: Intel PROSet Wireless Software; 802.1X Computer Authentication

Hello mpgioia,

We would like to provide you with the following information about your inquiry:

There is no direct equivalent in PROSet to the Windows* options for configuring the OS Computer / User / Computer or User authentication. The type of authentication used is determined by the type of profile created. 

Here is some additional information about the two types of profile you can create with the PROSet admin tool:

1. For Pre-Logon/Common (PLC) only 
PLC profiles are applied during, or after the user logs on. 

2. For both Pre-Logon/Common and Persistent 
Persistent profiles are applied at boot time, or whenever no user is logged on the computer. 


For PEAP, 
- A PLC only profile will use "User authentication". 
- A PLC and Persistent profile will use "Computer or user authentication" 
During, or before the user logs in, "User authentication" will be used. 
After user logs off or reboot, "Computer authentication" will be used.

Please let us know in case you have any further questions.

Regards,
Jonathan
