You can now connect to network at the login screen

With this update, you can now connect to your network and configure certain network options at the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) login screen. As a result, you can log in as an enterprise user whose home directory is stored on a remote server.

The login screen supports the following network options:

* Wired network
* Wireless network, including networks protected by a password
* Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The login screen cannot open windows for additional network configuration. As a consequence, you cannot use the following network options at the login screen:

* Networks that open a captive portal
* Modem connections
* Wireless networks with enterprise WPA or WPA2 encryption that have not been preconfigured

The network options at the login screen are disabled by default. To enable the network settings, use the following procedure:

. Create the `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/org.gnome.gdm.rules` file with the following content:
+
----
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control" &&
        subject.user == "gdm") {
            return polkit.Result.YES;
    }

    return polkit.Result.NOT_HANDLED;
});
----

. Restart GDM:
+
----
# systemctl restart gdm
----
+
WARNING: Restarting GDM terminates all your graphical user sessions.

. At the login screen, access the network settings in the menu on the right side of the top panel.
