Check the Always Resume the Secure Session check box at the top of the window if you want the

EAP-FAST supplicant to always attempt to resume the previous session without prompting you to
re-enter your credentials whenever the client adapter becomes disassociated. The session resumes
after the client temporarily loses connection to the access point (such as by roaming in and out of
coverage) or wakes up from suspend or hibernate mode. This is the default setting.
Uncheck the Always Resume the Secure Session check box if you want to be prompted to re-enter
your EAP-FAST username and password whenever your client adapter temporarily loses association
by roaming out of coverage or wakes up from suspend or hibernate mode.

Configure GTC Token/Password Window
Checking this check box gives you the convenience of not having to re-enter your username and
password when your client adapter experiences momentary losses of association. However, if
you leave your device unattended during the period of time when the EAP-FAST session can be
resumed without re-entering user credentials, be aware that someone can resume your
EAP-FAST session and access the network.
The Always Resume the Secure Session check box is disabled if you chose Static Password.
