and password have expired. The chapter contains eight sections based on the profile's authentication type

automatically prompted login, with a manually prompted login, or with a saved username and password),

Explanation
The client adapter associates to an access point, and the LEAP
authentication process begins.
The client adapter is LEAP authenticated, and the network
connection is verified.
If DHCP is enabled, the IP address is released and renewed.
If you are logging into a domain and the active profile
specifies that the domain name be included, an attempt is
made to find the domain controller to make sure subsequent
access to the domain is successful.
