Provides a location for you to type a name for the Network Policy that is applied to your wired clients running Windows Vista. Specifies that users with computers running Windows 7 are not allowed to store their user credentials such as user name and password , which the computer can then use to log on to the network even though the user is not actively logged on to the computer.

Users are allowed to enter and store their user credentials in profiles that they configure. For as long as the default setting remains unchanged, the local administrator can use the netsh LAN set allowexplicitcreds command on client computers running Windows 7 to allow or disallow users to store their user credentials.

After the first time that the default is changed the administrator can use this setting to enable or disable the capability for users to configure non-Group Policy based user profiles to store their user credentials.

User credentials cannot be stored with Group Policy profiles. Specifies whether to prohibit computers running Windows 7 from making auto connection attempts to the network for a specified amount of time, following a failed authentication attempt. This shared key is called the primary or system key for the wireless Hosted Network and is persistent across starting and stopping of the wireless Hosted Network. This primary key is called the "system security key" in netsh wlan commands.

To allow for ease of use, wireless Hosted Network also supports the concept of a secondary or user security key that is more user-friendly, but could be less secure. This secondary key is called the "user security key" in netsh wlan commands. The secondary key is not generated by Windows. The user must supply the value for this key. A user or application may set or change the key value by calling the WlanHostedNetworkSetSecondaryKey function or by using the netsh wlan commands.

The secondary key can be set to be persistent or temporary. For a temporary key, if the wireless Hosted Network is already running, the secondary key will be valid until the wireless Hosted Network stops. For a temporary key, if the wireless Hosted Network is not running, it will be valid only between the next wireless Hosted Network start and stop. There is exactly one primary key and at most one secondary key for the wireless Hosted Hetwork on any computer. Other manually configured devices can have use either key.

Whenever a key is changed, any device with the old key value will not be able to connect to the wireless Hosted Network without being re-provisioned with the new key. However, devices with the other unchanged key shall continue to be able to connect to the wireless Hosted Network.

An application can register for wireless Hosted Network notifications, so a WLAN notification will be sent to the application callback when properties change on the wireless Hosted Network. Windows provides two ways for IT administrators to manage the wireless Hosted Network feature. For computers that are members of a domain, administrators can use group policy to disallow the wireless Hosted Network.

Using netsh wlan commands, an administrator can enable or disable wireless Hosted Network locally on the computer. Devices connected to the wireless Hosted Network form a wireless PAN, where they are able to exchange information with the Windows computer hosting the SoftAP as well as among themselves. Network connection sharing for use by other computers and devices requires the use of Internet Connection Sharing ICS.
