Security Credentials
When you access network resources, or perform an operation on a remote computer, usually you should provide security credentials.
security credentials:
- Current logged-on user
Use current logged-on user session.
- Specify credentials
Provide a username and password to logon to remote computer. Generally only members of the Administrators group on the target computer or Domain Administrator are authorized to perform operations such as Remote Shutdown, Remote Execute, etc.
- To a Windows XP computer, you may need to configure the Windows XP system so you can remotely log on to it successfully. On Windows XP system, click "Control panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Local Security Policy>Local Policy>Security Options", in the right pane double-click the item titled "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts." The default option for this is "Guest only - local users authenticate as Guest." Switch this option to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves." If the account has a blank password, it's recommended to set password to account. Otherwise you should disable this security option "Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only". A restart may be required for the changes to take effect.
- Sometimes some policies will also cause the logon procedure or other network operations failed. On remote computer's system, click "Control panel>Administrative Tools>Local Security Policy>Local Policy>User Rights Assignments". In the right panel, check these two items "Access this computer from the network", "Deny access to this computer from the network", whether the account you provided in Security Credentials dialog have been added to them.
- A null session
Logon to remote computer by establishing a null session, which have no security credentials. Generally such sessions do not have any access rights over the network. If you are not domain administrator, a null session is useful for network scanning to gather network information, such as shared resources, server information, and useful for enumerating other network information.
Close current connections to remote machine
If an existing connection cause the logon failed, it will be closed by the program.
XML Group
In this field you can save security credentials settings to XML groups (Click "Edit > XML Group" to create new group). One machine probably joins in more than one groups. To those machines the new settings will always overwrite old ones while saving group settings. Group settings take precedence over global ones.
- View
View the selected group's security credentials settings. If the first one of all machines belonging to the selected group have joined in more than one group, it may show you an inaccurate information.
- Eliminate
Eliminate security credentials settings from all machines which joined in the selected group.
