Users with Connect Before Logon enabled will be able to establish a network connection before logging on to Windows. Administrators can control the use of login scripts, password caching, mapping network drives to local drives, and other operations that require a network connection.
Connect Before Logon is a feature of the Open Mobile for Windows client only
Administrators enable Connect Before Logon in the Open Mobile Portal.
To enable Connect Before Logon for a profile:
To Connect Before Logon:
1. You may have to click Switch User from the Logon screen to navigate to the User screen. Click Network Logon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
2. If you have multiple connection clients, click the iPass icon.
3. Next to Connect to Internet, click the blue arrow.
4. After the Open Mobile client opens, select a network and click Connect.
5. Enter your Account Credentials (in pre-logon mode you have to enter your credentials every time). Click Continue. If your client was configured for Single Sign-On (and is version 2.2.0 and later), you may proceed to automatically connect to your VPN (if you have Cisco AnyConnect) and then you will be automatically logged on to your computer. Otherwise, proceed to step 6.
6. After connecting successfully, a dialog box will open. Click OK.
7. Optional: For all clients earlier than 2.2.0 or 2.2.0 clients with a VPN other than Cisco AnyConnect, to connect to a VPN that has been configured for pre-logon access, repeat the above instructions, and after you click the Network Logon button, select the VPN client from the row of tiles.
You cannot save credentials or preferences in pre-logon mode.
