Login Dialog
The Login dialog allows you to change the user login details for a particular server. This dialog is useful only if you have set up user access control for a Syniti Replicate installation via the User Settings dialog. Note that if you change the login from one user to another in the same Management Center session, all open SQL Query, Log Viewer and History Viewer tabs are automatically closed to avoid leaving open tabs for which the new login may not have appropriate permissions.

Server Address
Inactive. Reports the IP address of the server you selected in the Metadata Explorer.
Port
Inactive. Reports the port number that is being used for the server you selected in the Metadata Explorer.
Authentication
The options are:
AnonymousAccess
No login details are requested from the user. This is the default setting
for installations where security has not been enabled. To enable
security, go to the User Settings
dialog.
Windows
Authentication
If security has been enabled via the User
Settings dialog, and you have been directed by your administrator
to use Windows Authentication, select this option. Syniti Replicate will verify
that your Microsoft Windows login and ID are legitimate before allowing
you to continue working in the Management Center.
UserName Authentication
If security has been enabled via the User
Settings dialog, and you have been directed by your administrator
to use UserName Authentication, select this option, then type your user
name and password in the fields below. UserName authentication requires
the use of a X.509 certificate. Verify that a certificate
has been installed correctly before completing this dialog. If you
do not have a correctly installed certificate, you may not be able to
use the Management Center.

If you do not know your user name, verify login information with your administrator or try setting the Authentication value to AnonymousAccess (no security) or Windows Authentication (uses your Microsoft Windows login and password.)
Password
Active only when UserName Authentication has been selected. Enter the password assigned to you by the administrator. Syniti Replicate will verify that your login and ID are legitimate before allowing you to continue working in the Management Center.

Opening the Login Dialog
This dialog is displayed automatically when a user attempts to access
a Syniti Replicate server with established access control. In addition, it is possible
to change a user login while using the Management Center. In the Metadata
Explorer, select the server for which you want to change the login details,
then click 
Connect
in the toolbar or choose Connect
from the right mouse button menu.
