To log on to the vPro Console

1.Right-click a computer on the list in the Intel vPro pane and select Open Intel vPro Console.
2.On the Credentials tab of the displayed Netop vPro Console Logon window, select authentication method:

- Digest authentication

- Kerberos authentication

If you select Digest authentication, enter user name and password.

Select the Force using secured connection through TLS check box, if you prefer. Normally, Transport Layer Security (TLS) is automatically detected and used when available, but if you select this check box, the vPro Console will only use secured connection to log on to the AMT device. If the AMT device is not configured to use TLS, you will receive an error message and the connection will not be established.

If you select Kerberos authentication, the tab will look slightly different, and either a current Windows user account or a different user account (user, password, domain) can be used to log on to the AMT device.

In addition to the Force using secured connection through TLS check box, you will see a Log on using current Windows account check box. This check box is selected by default, and as a consequence the User name, Password, and Domain fields are disabled, and the credentials of the current Windows user will be used.

Note

When using Kerberos authentication the console should be connected to the Host using FQDN name (fully qualified domain name). For example, it is not possible to do the Kerberos authentication when connecting to an AMT device using its IP address.

3.If you select the Force using secured connection through TLS check box, a client certificate is required to establish the TLS connection when the AMT device is configured for mutual TLS authentication.

Click the Certificate tab and specify the certificate to be used by first selecting either Personal Certificate Storage or File in the Location list and then selecting the certificate in the Certificate combo box.

4.Click Log on to log on to the vPro Console.

When you have logged on, the vPro Console window will be displayed.
