autologin via WLAN EAP-TLS and radius

[Günter Weisz]

Hello,
we have wireless clients that should login automatically after reboot. We
use EAP-TLS for encryption and authentication against a Windows 2000 IAS.
Everything works fine with a XP pro client on a notebook that we used for
testing.. After boot autologin happens and the user is authenticated by the
radius server.
The problem is with a XP embedded client on an automotive PC. The XPe client
boots, autologin happens, but it cannot authenticate and establish TCP/IP
connectivity. We have to log of the user and log on again. With that second
logon wireless authentication happens and a network connection is
established.
Any hint is appreciated.
Best regards
Günter Weisz

hi Gunter,

my assumption is that the autologon happens too soon, network is not
initialized yet.
try the following setting

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"SyncForegroundPolicy"=dword:00000001

this tells the system to wait that network has been initialized before
logon.

This issue has been solved.
The driver included in the image was wrong.
