Known Issues

Using Machine Certificates on Pre-Logon

Local administrative rights are required to access a machine certificate. Therefore, a restricted user is prevented from using profiles that use a machine certificate.

Using User Certificate on Pre-Logon

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.

Recommended Power Configuration

A client disassociates upon moving to hibernation mode when the following conditions are met:

• A client is connected to an 802.1x profile
• The Power Management setting in the Adapter Settings is configured to "Allow the device to bring the computer out of standby"
• In Windows, the system is configured to move automatically from standby to hibernation in the Power Option Properties

The recommendation is to set the system hibernate power option to “Never” when the computer is on AC power.
