Abstract
Methods and systems for providing embedded user authentication and/or providing computing services using an information handling system configured as flexible computing node, and which may be implemented to perform preboot authentication of users. The flexible computing node may also be configured to provision the appropriate work environment for a given user based on one or more user parameters (e.g. entitlements, location, network connection, and/or other parameters).
