Resolution
Advanced Login is a GINA replacement that is required for the following:
- Authentication with smart cards or USB keys with Windows workstations, without any need to deploy a PKI compatible with Windows Active Directory certificates.
- Authentication using non-Windows methods, such as biometrics.
- Authentication of users through an enterprise directory, which is not part of the Windows network.
- Authentication with RFID badges.
- Authentication with an OTP (One Time Password).
- Access point based SSO policies (restrictions based on the workstations)
- Fast User Switching.

Additional Information
In 8.0.2 AdvancedLogin was located in a seperate MSI (AdvancedLogin.msi). In 8.0.3 it is a selectable option in the ESSO Agent installer (ESSOAgent.msi).
