Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a computing device that includes a host operating system and a management engine separate from the host operating system, if the primary operating system is not operating, a management engine may obtain from a credential server via a first network connection logon information for a secured network and the management engine connects to the secure network through a secured connection using the logon information. If the operating system is operating the operating system provides the logon information to the management engine. Certificate verification may be performed by a remote server on behalf of the management engine. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
