Automatic Domain User Logon

Automatic Domain User Logon

Apart from logon with a user name and password, PANTHEON also support domain user logon.

With this, users don't need separate accounts for PANTHEON logon, it is enough if they are logged into the domain.

If using this method, additional entries are added to the registry (into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\DataLab). Each user gets a registry entry with the following values:

• Username - encrypted PANTHEON user name
• Password - encrypted PANTHEON password
• DataBase - encrypted name of PANTHEON database

At logon, PANTHEON checks which (domain) user is logged into the computer and search for the relevant registry entry. If it is not found, an error is returned.

If a relevant registry entry exists, the information is decrypted and used for logon. It it is invalid, an error will be returned.

Login to the SQL database is still done through SQL authentication (the user needs a PANTHEON user name and password, apart from the domain account.

Use

Add the command line parameter /LD to Pantheon.exe.

After first logon with a PANTHEON user name and password, they are saved for future use.

At subsequent logons, PANTHEON checks the logged domain user and if his or her settings are saved, logs on to PANTHEON automatically.

To stop using this function remove the /LD parameter. To change settings, delete the relevant registry entries. You can also use the ClearUsers.exe utility, which can be downloaded from http://ftp.datalab.si/Programi/DL-utils/.

Every domain user has his/her own key, named 000, 001, 002 and so on.

The program lists a list of domain users that can be deleted with button Delete and close.
