Credential Cache Options

If you selected any of the password-based authentication types, you can select different credential caching
options. These options specify when the network credential prompts appear: at connection, on each resume,
or at a specified time.
Entering the credentials directly into the profile permanently caches the credentials. In this case, the mobile
computer does not require user login. If a profile does not contain credentials entered through the configuration
editor, you must log in to the mobile computer before connecting.
Caching options only apply on credentials entered through the login dialog box.

If the mobile computer does not have the credentials, you are prompted to enter a username and password. If
the mobile computer has the credentials (previous entered via a login dialog box), it uses these credentials
unless the caching options require the mobile computer to prompt for new credentials. If you entered the
credentials via the profile, the mobile computer does not prompt for new credentials.

Entering credentials applies these credentials to a particular profile. Logging out clears all cached credentials.
Editing a profile clears all cached credentials for that profile.
The following authentication types have credential caching:
EAP TLS
•
PEAP
•
LEAP

Select this option to prompt for credentials whenever the WCS tries to connect to a new
profile. Deselect this to use the cached credentials to authenticate. If the credentials are
not cached, you are prompted to enter credentials. This option only applies when logged
in.
Selecting this reauthenticates an authenticated user when a suspend/resume occurs.
Once reauthenticated, the user is prompted for credentials. If the user does not enter the
same credentials that were entered prior to the suspend/resume within three attempts, the
user is disconnected from the network. This option only applies when logged in.
Select this option to perform a local verification on an authenticated user at a specified
time. The time can be an absolute time or a relative time from the authentication, and
should be in at least 5 minute intervals. Once the time has passed, the user is prompted
for credentials. If the user does not enter the correct credentials within three attempts, the
user is disconnected from the network. This option only applies when logged in.
