Single sign-on for 802.1X authentication disables all non-SSO credential providers in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, assume that you enable the single sign-on (SSO) service for 802.1X authentication. In this scenario, all the other non-SSO credential providers are disabled. Therefore, you may be unable to authenticate by using some credential providers that are provided by Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), such as fingerprint authentication.

Cause

When SSO is enabled in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008, the Layer 2 Network Access (L2NA) logon filter disables all non-SSO providers.

To resolve this problem, apply the following hotfix. After you do this, the operating system disables only the user name/password providers or smart-card credential providers that are built-in credential providers.
