When a password is assigned to an entry in the server access file, or if (on a Windows NT/2000 server) the NT_SECURITY configuration variable is set to LOGON, requesters must return a password to AcuLaunch. This section describes how to send a password from the client to AcuLaunch.
The Thin Client opens a dialog window requesting that the user enter a password.
A password is required to connect to host hostname. Please enter a password:
The user must enter a password. The characters do not echo on the screen.
The password is then encrypted and sent to the server for verification. If the password matches, a connection is established. If the password doesn't match, the user is prompted again to enter a password.
Invalid password Please enter a password:
The password verification cycle is repeated until a valid password is entered, or the value of the server configuration variable PASSWORD_ATTEMPTS is exceeded (the default value is "3").
The text displayed by the thin client to prompt for a password and report a failed verification can be modified with the TEXT_015, TEXT_016, and TEXT_017 configuration variables (see section 3.3.1 Configuring the Remote Application Runtime).
