Windows authentication

Each time a user successfully logs on to Windows manually, the most recent Windows password is added to the pre-boot user database. The same happens when a user changes his personal password in Windows.

The logon behavior depends on the setting in the DriveLock policy:

  • Automatic: Single Sign-On mode is enabled: the user is automatically logged on to Windows.

  • Manually: Single Sign-On mode is turned off: the Windows logon screen is displayed and the user must log on with their personal credentials.
