Using LEAP with the Windows Username and Password
Using LEAP with the Windows Username and Password
After Profile Selection or Card Insertion
After you (or auto profile selection) select a profile that uses LEAP authentication and specifies that your
Windows username and password also serve as your LEAP username and password or you eject and
reinsert the client adapter while this profile is selected, the following events occur:
1.
The “LEAP Authentication in progress” message appears.
2.
If your client adapter authenticates, the message disappears, and the Server Based Authentication
field on the ACU Status screen shows “LEAP Authenticated.”
If the authentication attempt fails, an error message appears after the LEAP timeout period has
expired. Refer to the
“Error Messages”
section in
Chapter 9
for the necessary action to take.
After a Reboot or Logon
After your computer reboots or you log on, follow the steps below to LEAP authenticate.
Step 1
When the Windows login screen appears (see
Figure 6-1
and
Figure 6-2
), enter your Windows username
and password and click OK. The domain name is optional.
Note
If your computer is running Windows NT, 2000, or XP and has Novell Client 32 software
installed, a separate LEAP login screen appears before the Novell login screen. If this occurs,
enter your Windows and Novell username and password in the login screens and click OK.
