Hi,

If you 're using Client GUI v5.5 and using Security Prompt window, there is an option (Check Box) to remember Username / Password, how this option can be disabled or removed completely ? The reason for doing so is because if users check this box, this poses security risk to production application.

Any other suggestion for alternatives ?

Very Appreciated.

Hi,

I dont think you can remove that prompt...

I did ask ProIV LTD many years ago if there could be an option to remove it, but I dont think anthing was done.

Hi Hath

Is it possible for your users to be logged in using a transparent logon where control goes to a bespoke logon screen ?

I am not sure if that would work for you, but a few years ago, I created a "standard" piv file, with no password or username defined. The Pro IV client was initiated from a bat file in windows, and the first line was to copy the standard piv file into the working piv file (overwriting it, if needed), then the working piv file was invoked. In that fashion, if any user had saved the user name or password, it was removed the next time anyone logged in.

Of course, that would override any other configuration change a user may have done in the session, but that was exactly what I wanted, since I had defined a standardized client.

It' s a good tip, CSuarezdelReal.

Another issue that makes it unacceptable for our users is that when the user fails to log into UNIX server (invalid password, password expires, etc ...), a telnet terminal session appears for the user to complete the login. The user considers this as very unfriendly. Is there a way to customise the logon window so that it displays appropriate error messages and re-prompt for login again without having to pass the user onto the telnet session ?

We 've also experienced many other issues with GUI layout, such as screen title disappearing, paging screen with vertical grid lines, I can not find anywhere to customise these.

Please help.

Thanks and regards,

Hath.
