Can you make NAV not ask for your password every time you open RTC with NAVUserPassword Authe

Hi All,

I have a customer who is being deployed at the moment on a hybrid Azure VM using an Azure-SQL database. This means they need to use NAVUserPassword authentication in NAV. This has been set up and is working fine. However, with this setup , every time they open the RTC it prompts them to enter their Username and Password. There is a "Remember my Password" box that can be ticked, however when you tick this it seems to do nothing other than pre-populate the field with the password - you still have to enter "OK" each time.


They are getting a little annoyed by this, as their passwords will very rarely, if ever change. Do any of you know of any way that the client - once the password has been remembered can be made to just open - in a similar way to how it would with Windows Authentication? Obviously as this is Azure-SQL it does not support Windows Authentication, so my options are limited.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

You could use Windows authentication by creating the useraccounts on the server which runs de NAV server with the same name and password as used on the workstations. So, if John has an account in the domain Domain (domain\john), you could create a user on the navserver (navserver\john) with the same password. Windows authentication should work then.

A downside: You need to do all userrelated things on the server.

It is not possible to bypass the logonwindow using NAVuserpassword authentication of UserName authentication.

Nobody come across this before? I was really hoping there would be something we could do to automate the client opening - as this also requires multiple mouse clicks to switch companies as well
