wolftech

Hi

a)What is the difference in use of windows login and Database login

b) What is the use of selecting the company type when I am creating a new company

c) What is the use of giving bank details in Company information window.(How it is different from Bank in bank Master).

a) a Windows login uses the login you used to get into Windows. So NAV doesn't ask again for a user or a password.
A database login is a login you define in the database. NAV will ask you for a user and a password.

In case of Windows Logins, in combination with SQL-dbs, is their a possibility to have the system force the user to type the password again?

Hi Theo,

Not as standard but you can code this by calling you own "Login" Form from the CompanyOpen function in codeunit 1 - but why not just use database login?

Thanks Dave,
it concerns a database with over 50 users, so we would like to keep all existing setup. However the mother-company security-policy requires the password. But if we have to setup all users again as database logins, all the roles and other user-setup, and we have to make sure that everything is still working correctly......
Therefore I was looking for an option to just request the users password.
