Protecting configuration settings
You can protect your connection items and your caller accounts by setting a
password. Although it is important to choose a password that you can remember,
be sure to choose a password that is not easy for others to discover.
Your host and remote connection items contain the information that is needed
to establish a connection and run a session. This includes logon information and
security settings. Your caller accounts contain authentication information and
access rights for a user or group of users. By setting a password, you can prevent
unauthorized users from tampering with your settings or launching a session
without your permission.
