4 Provide a password when prompted. SOL Proxy will use this combination
of operating system username and password to authenticate you on the
SOL Proxy Server. The specific authentication scheme will depend on the
operating system configuration for the SOL Proxy Server. However,
if
localhost or an IP address of 127.0.0.1 is used, it is assumed that the user
has login privileges to the current host, and is not prompted for a
username and password.

menu prompt appear. You are ready to use SOL Proxy. By default, you will
be logged in the menu mode. See "SOL Proxy Main Menu" on page 83 for
further instructions.
