ABSTRACT:
A method for single sign-one for operating system (OS) boot image provisioning and OS login based on user identity includes receiving authentication information from an information handling system (IHS) over a network. The authentication information is associated with a user. The authentication information is sent to network services. Boot image information is received from the network services. The boot image information is associated with a boot image and the authentication information. The boot image is provisioned to the IHS over the network, wherein the boot image includes an OS that is configured to read the authentication information from a shared memory region of the IHS and use the authentication information to auto-login the user to the OS.
