Auto Login Web Service

Comedia · Post by **Comedia** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 11:40 am

I configured a Wyse terminal displaying HM's warnings permanently.

Auto Login is enabled in HM Web Service's options, Wyse Terminal opens IExplore shortcut with HM IP at startup - works fine.

By enabling auto login I loose the feature of using different user accounts. Is it possible to disable auto login and authenticate by parameters (e.g. http://1.1.1.1:username@password)?

Do you know any other way to combine auto & user login?

I know Microsoft disabled the username/password behavior in a IE6

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=834489

The only way I see - install second copy of Web Service with disabled "auto login" option. It can be installed on the same system using different TCP port for incoming connections, or it can be installed on another system (is this case you should add IP address of that system into list of acceptable addresses. In the "User profiles" dialog)

Installed WebService on the same machine in a different folder and chose a different port.

Both services work fine as long as one runs an service and the other one as application.

Any idea how to run both as services?

You cannot install 2 service instances on the same system, unless you install 1st instance, modify registry (name of service) and then install second instance.
But I am not sure its a good idea... Could you install Web Service on another system?

Installed it on a second server.
User authentification does not work. What do you mean by

"in this case you should add IP address of that system into list of acceptable addresses. In the "User profiles" dialog"?

Renamed default user manager (cannot edit field "accept remote connetions from" for new users - is this a bug?) and changed IP-adress to second web service server.

Activated "Auto Login" on second Web Service too:
Setting will be ignored, user authentication pops up.

Strange.

to insert new address press INSERT key

Activated "Auto Login" on second Web Service too:
Setting will be ignored, user authentication pops up.

Its possible when IP address is not specified or item (with IP address) is not marked [v]
