Credential Cache Options

If any of the password based authentication types are chosen, then different credential caching options may be specified. These
options allow an administrator to specify when the network credentials prompts appear. The network credentials prompts can be set
to appear; at connection, on each resume, or at a specified time.
An administrator can enter the credentials directly into the profile which permanently caches the credentials. In this case, user login
to the mobile computer is not required. If a profile does not contain credentials entered through the configuration editor, then the user
must login to the mobile computer before connecting.
Caching options only apply on credentials that are entered through the login dialog box.
If mobile computer does not have the credentials, the user is 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 the credentials were entered via the profile, the mobile computer does not prompt for new
credentials. Table 7-9 lists the caching options.
If this option is selected, then a user is prompted for credentials whenever the WCS tries to connect to a new profile. If this option is
not set, then the cached credentials are used to authenticate. If the credentials are not cached, then the user is prompted to enter
At Connect credentials. This option only applies if a user is logged in.
If the On Resume option is selected, an authenticated user is reauthenticated when a suspend/resume occurs. Once the user is
reauthenticated, the user is prompted for credentials. If the user does not enter the same credentials that were entered prior to the
suspend/resume, the user is disconnected from the network. The user may try up to three times to enter the correct credentials. If the
On Resume correct credentials are entered, then the network connection remains intact. This option only applies if a user is logged in.
Use 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, the times should be at least 5 minutes intervals. Once the time has passed, the user is prompted
for credentials. If the user enters the correct credentials, the network connection remains intact. If the user enters the wrong
credentials, the user is disconnected from the network. The user may try up to three times to enter the correct credentials. If the correct
At Time credentials are entered, then the network connection remains intact. This option only applies if a user is logged in.
When a user enters the credentials, the credentials are applied to a particular profile. If a user logs out, all of the cached credentials
are cleared. If a profile is edited, then all cached credentials for that profile are cleared.
The following authentication types have credential caching:
