Connection Request Policies

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Vista

Connection request policies use conditions and settings to authenticate network access requests and govern where this authentication is performed. One connection request policy is required for each NAP enforcement method that is deployed. When you select a network connection method using the NAP configuration wizard, connection request policies are configured with the required authentication settings automatically. The NAP configuration wizard is shown in the following figure.
