You have the option of creating a realm for which the user name and password are pre-entered, thus allowing immediate access to an application for all VTS internet clients.
Note: AutoLogon accounts can potentially create a significant breach of security and should only be used in special circumstances: For example, if your application is running on a company-wide intranet with no access from the outside, you may wish to provide free access without username and password prompts. You might also want to provide a guest account (presumably with very restricted security privileges) for general access.
AutoLogon accounts are created by entering the realm, username and password information for an existing account, into VTS's setup.ini file. Once the AutoLogon account has been defined, you may then open a VIC connection to that realm and expect the VTS internet server to immediately log you in as the defined user and open the application.
You may create as many AutoLogon accounts as you need by creating a realm for each, using the following instructions:
Assuming that you have...
• an application on a licensed VTS internet server,
• with a user account that has the internet client privilege set,
• and a realm that references that application
• then the process to create an AutoLogon account is as follows:
1. Open the file SETUP.INI in the main directory your VTS installation.
2. In the [SYSTEM] section, add a line using the following format:
AutoLogon_RealmName = UserName:Password
where
• "AutoLogon_" is a keyword
• "RealmName" should be replaced by the name of your realm
• "Username" should be replaced by the name of the user account
• the colon ":" must appear as shown after the user name
• "Password" should be replaced by the user account's password
3. Re-start the VTS Application Manager. Changes to the SETUP.INI file will only take effect on startup.
For example, if your realm is named "WaterTreatment", the user account is named "Guest" and the password is "ABCD", then the line to add to the SETUP.INI file would be:
[SYSTEM]
...
AutoLogon_WaterTreatment = Guest:ABCD
Note: If you are using VTS's user groups feature, do not add the name of the group or use the group delimiter in the configuration line above. Use simply the user name, the single colon and the password.
