Reauthenticate
This option forces your client adapter to try to reauthenticate using the username and password of the
current profile. It is available only for LEAP-enabled profiles. When you choose this option, the LEAP
Authentication Status window appears, and the authentication process begins.
If your client adapter is unable to authenticate using the specified username and password, you are
prompted to re-enter them. If you click Cancel, a message appears indicating that the current profile will

Use Auto Profile Selection—Causes the client adapter's driver to automatically select a profile
from the list of profiles that were set up in ADU to be included in auto profile selection.
If the client adapter loses association for more than 10 seconds (or for more than the time specified
by the LEAP authentication timeout value on the LEAP Settings window if LEAP is enabled), the
driver switches automatically to another profile that is included in auto profile selection. The adapter
will not switch profiles as long as it remains associated or reassociates within 10 seconds (or within
the time specified by the LEAP authentication timeout value). To force the client adapter to associate
to a different access point (in infrastructure mode) or another client (in ad hoc mode), you must
select a new profile.
Note
This option is available only if two or more profiles are included in auto profile selection.
