Using Automatic Login

Automatic login enables you to bypass the Log in to Dimensions dialog box when reopening the most recent connection. It also allows you to bypass the manual entry of your password when opening any connection that is configured for automatic login.

To enable automatic login for a connection:

1. Your administrator configures Dimensions CM to enable you to use automatic login.

2. You configure your connection information to enable automatic login.

3. You log in to the connection the normal way.

4. When prompted to enable automatic login for future connections to the server, click Yes.

After automatic login is enabled for a connection, it behaves like this:

If you do this... | While this is true... | Then this happens
Click the Connect button. | No other connections are open. | If the most recently used connection had auto login enabled, it will open in Dimensions Explorer; the login dialog box will not open. Otherwise, the log in dialog box open.
Click the Connect button. | Other connections are already open. | The login dialog box opens. When you select a connection, the Password field is prepopulated with (automatic login enabled). Click the Log in button.
CTRL+click the Connect button. |  | The login dialog box opens. Select a connection to open manually.
Allow your connection to the server to time out. |  | The Password Required dialog box opens. Enter your password and click OK.
