Persistent Profiles
Persistent profiles are applied at boot time or whenever no one is logged on the computer. After
a user logs off, a Persistent profile maintains a wireless connection either until the computer is
turned off or a different user logs on.
Persistent profile key points:
● The following types of profiles can be created as Persistent profiles:
❍ All profiles that do not require 802.1X authentication (for example, Open
authentication with WEP encryption, Open authentication with no encryption).
❍ All profiles with 802.1X authentication that have the credentials saved: LEAP or
EAP-FAST.
❍ Profiles with security settings that include the "Use the following user name and
password" option.
❍ Profiles that use the machine certificate to authenticate.
❍ WPA*-Enterprise profiles that do not use a user certificate.
❍ WPA-Personal profiles.
● Persistent profiles are applied at system power up and after a user logs off.
NOTE: The WiFi connection utility supports machine certificates. However, they are
not displayed in the certificate listings.
