Windows 2K using LEAP & Tweakui

[luceroc]

We have a community that wants to have workstations auto login using the Tweakui utility from Microsoft. (I know this is a bad idea in practice and we've fought the good fight but they wanted to have it and there ya go) Anyway, since moving to LEAP authentication the auto login does not pass the credentials through the ACU to the LEAP server and therefore does not grant access. Unfortunately Windows passes it from Tweakui to the Windows environment and it boots but obviously does not have a valid network connection since LEAP does authenticate in time.

Does anyone know of a way to move LEAP credentials up before the Windows?

Thanks in advance.

If by 'auto login' you mean using a saved LEAP username and passwork, then that would pose a problem. To the best of my knowledge, the LEAP authentication process using the saved username/password pair starts only after the windows username/password pair is entered. Please see Using EAP Authentication (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/wireless/ps4555/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008007f858.html#10964).

Thanks for the response. I've actually been searching around and found that the newest version of the ACU allows you to store username and password information. This way the wireless environment can be started with a stored name/pwd now, no need for windows to pass anything through. Thanks again.
