captures credentials upon first use and automates the authentication of subsequent unit connections.
This feature may be disabled should it present a security concern or result in authentication failures
due to single-use passwords, as are supported by some external RADIUS servers.
Credential caching may be enabled or disabled globally in the General Options dialog box.
•
When enabled globally (which is the default), cached credentials will be used whenever you
access other units during that AVWorks software session, and the username/password prompt
will not appear unless a unit uses a different username/password from the cached information.
•
When disabled, any currently cached credentials will be cleared automatically, and subsequent
attempts to log in to a unit will generate a prompt for a username and password.
You may also enable/disable credential caching for individual appliances and devices in the
General Properties dialog box.
•
An appliance’s properties may be configured to either use the global setting or enable/disable
credential caching expressly for that appliance (and all connected devices).
•
A device’s properties may be configured to either use the appliance setting or enable/disable
credential caching expressly for that device.
Figure 3.2 shows the levels of credential caching and the default settings.
