Configuring host logon credentials for remote management
Symantec pcAnywhere requires a user name and password for all host sessions.
To send a remote management command to one or more computers from
pcAnywhere Manager, you must specify the pcAnywhere caller credentials that
are needed to log on to the host computer. Symantec pcAnywhere automatically
prompts you for this information.
The caller logon credentials that you specify in the Remote Management Properties
window are sent to each computer that you have selected. If a remote connection
item is already configured to send logon credentials automatically, you can
configure pcAnywhere to override the preconfigured logon information.
To configure host logon credentials for remote management
1
In the Remote Management Properties window, on the Host Login Credentials
tab, type your logon name.
This window appears automatically after you select a remote management
command.
2
Type your password.
3
If you are connecting to a Windows Vista/XP/2003 Server/2000 host and have
been assigned to a domain, type your domain name, using the following
format:
domain\user
4 To override any preconfigured logon credentials in a remote connection item,
check Ignore login settings configured in remote items.
