Show Authentication tab in network connections properties

Hi,

I'm trying to enable 802.1x support in my image. The driver on my
development system is mdc8021x.sys but that doesn't seem to be in the
repositories. Even if I copy and install this driver, the authentication
tab doesn't display so I expect I'm missing something.

this is a minlogon image if it matters.

thanks,

John
 
John,

Are you trying this on SP2 based image?

The mdc8021x is indeed not in the XPe repository. YOU would need to componentize the driver for the best result. Please make sure
you have got ALL the driver dependencies in your configuration. Use Dependency Walker to analyze the driver binary dependencies.

As to the protocol itslef, please make sure to have the following components:
- Wireless Zero Configuration
- Network Provisioning Service

Also, enable "Show Notifications on Task Bar" option on the "User Interface Core" component's settings page.
 
Yes, this is an SP2 based image.
The driver doesn't have much in dependencies, ndis.sys and the kernel files.
Obviously the module which contains the authentication dialog won't show as
a dependency but I'd think it is in the same dll as the other network
connection properties/
All of the other settings are already in my target.
 
John,

I have never tried that on Minlogon so you may expect this doesn't work for you because of that.

What you can do quickly is:
- backup your SLX,
- upgrade the SLX to Winlogon (just replace Minlogon by Winlogon in the configuration and auto-resolve all dependencies),
- you can either stick with CMD shell, custom shell or move to Explorer Shell,
- verify whether the authentication page is there.

If the page is there - Winlogon or some of its dependencies are the key.
 
Hi KM,

Something else must be missing. It still doesn't show. BTW, it looks like
CTFMON has a dependency with winlogon...

John,

Do you have the following components in your image?

"Primitive: NetCfgx"
"Class Install Library - Mdminst"
"Primitive: MMSYS"
"PnP (User Mode)"
"Netshell"

As to the ctfmon.. It works for me just fine on Winlogon image. Also, at
quick glance it seems that it opens some userenv events (User Profile setup
event) which may only be available in Winlogon environment (only a guess of
mine).
