Chapter 3: AVWorks Explorer 23
3. If a browser is used for access, no username/password prompt appears.
For other access methods, a username/password prompt appears if this is the first access
attempt during the AVWorks software session. This includes:
•
Video Viewer device access
• Serial Console Viewer access using a login script that contains username and password macros
• Third party Telnet client access using command line arguments containing username and
password macros
After a device is accessed, subsequent access attempts during this AVWorks software session
may prompt for a username and password, depending on the cached credentials settings and
whether the unit uses the same credentials. If credentials are cached (stored), no prompt will
appear. If credentials are not cached, a prompt will appear.
See
Managing Cached Credentials on page 17 for more information.

as needed.
