Running Applications Using a Different User
Name and Password
To force SGD to prompt you for a user name and password when you start an
application, hold down the Shift key when you click the application’s link on your
webtop.
Forcing SGD to prompt you for a user name and password in this way means that
SGD does not use any user name and password that has already been saved for the
application server. This is useful if you want to run an application as another user.
If the Save This Password check box is selected, the new user name and password
are saved, replacing any previously saved user name and password for you on this
application server. This user name and password is used for any other applications
you run on this application server.
Holding down the Shift key has no effect in the following cases:
■ When you are logged in to SGD anonymously, or as a shared user.
■ When the link for starting an application is in your desktop Start or Launch
Menu. The Shift key prompt only works for links on a webtop.
