When you enable Change Management from the iFIX User Preferences dialog box in the WorkSpace, you can specify the login options, such as whether you log on when the WorkSpace starts up, and whether a dialog box appears requesting a password.
TIP: If you have a very large iFIX project, you most likely do not want to enable the Logon at WorkSpace Startup. If it is selected, it may take several additional seconds or minutes (depending on the size of your project) for the WorkSpace to startup.
With automatic logon, no dialog box appears requesting your logon credentials. Instead, when you choose to logon, either at the WorkSpace start up or from the system tree's right-click menu, the logon occurs automatically. If the automatic logon fails due to an invalid user name or password, the Change Management Logon dialog box does appear, however.
To enable automatic logon to the Change Management Server from iFIX, from the iFIX User Preferences dialog box on the Change Management tab, you must clear the Prompt for User Name and Password at Logon check box.
For automatic logon to work properly, the user you log into iFIX with must also be defined on the Change Management Server. The user name and password defined in on both servers must be identical.
TIP: In iFIX, user names and passwords are not case-sensitive. However, in Change Management, passwords are case-sensitive. When in iFIX, it is recommended that you enter both the user name and password all in the same case, so that it is less likely you will run into issues later.
Similarly, when creating your iFIX users, you should be aware of the limitations set on the Change Management passwords. You do not want to create an iFIX user with a password that Change Management does not support. For more information on creating passwords in Change Management, refer to the "Working with users" topic in the Change Management help.
When the user names and passwords do not match in both applications, or the iFIX user you are logged in as is not defined as a user on the Change Management Server (or vice versa), after an error message, the Logon dialog box appears, even with the Prompt for User Name and Password at Logon check box cleared.
