Change the value to 1 and click OK. Type in control userpasswords2. This will open up user accounts. Make sure that "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" is checked. Go into the advanced tab. Apply and OK these settings. Log off and you will notice these changes right away! Standard authentication includes password-based or certificate-based credentials.

A PLAP is a special type of credential provider that allows users to make a network connection before logging in to their system. Another difference between these two types of providers is timeout.

PLAP credentials have no timeout where standard credentials typically have a second timeout. This provider is visible only if the system is configured as part of a domain. The VPN tunneling provider creates a network connection. After a user logs in through VPN tunneling credential providers, the user has 5 minutes to log in to Vista either through single sign-on or through another credential provider.

After the user logs into Vista, VPN tunneling attaches to the tunnel.
