4.2.1.2.3 Connecting to the LAN
When updating from a local server with an NT-based operating system, authentication for each network
connection is required by default. In most cases, a local system account does not have sufficient rights to access
the Mirror folder (the Mirror folder contains copies of update files). If this is the case, enter the username and
password in the update setup section, or specify an existing account under which the program will access the
update server (Mirror).
To configure such an account, click the LAN tab. The Connect to LAN as section offers the System account (
default), Current user, and Specified user options.
Select the System account (default) option to use the system account for authentication. Normally, no
authentication process takes place if there is no authentication data supplied in the main update setup section.
To ensure that the program authenticates using a currently logged-in user account, select Current user. The
drawback of this solution is that the program is not able to connect to the update server if no user is currently
logged in.
Select Specified user if you want the program to use a specific user account for authentication.
Warning: When either Current user or Specified user is selected, an error may occur when changing the identity of
the program to the desired user. We recommend inserting the LAN authentication data in the main update setup
section. In this update setup section, the authentication data should be entered as follows: domain_name\user (if
it is a workgroup, enter workgroup_name\name) and password. When updating from the HTTP version of the local
server, no authentication is required.
