MacBook Wi-Fi requires login to connect after reboot

Hi All,


I recently can into and issue where when the user reboots her mac, she has to sign into a profile on the machine in order for the WIFI to reconnect. I have not seen an issue like this. I have a macbook and was going to try to reproduce the issue. Is there a setting in macbooks that will prevent connection to WIFI until you login?


Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.7

What kind of profile are you referencing...


if not needed remove it and compare your results.
