For authentication that does not require network-based credentials, use a simple
password to check the identity of PC-Duo Master users who request access to your Host
computer. Select Allow connection with a simple password and enter the password you
would like to use to authenticate an incoming connection request.
To configure simple password authentication, consider the following options:
 Select Allow connection with a simple password from the Security tab to require simple
password (or no password) for any remote connections to your Host computer. If you
want to establish a password, type the same password in the Password and Confirm
Password fields.
 Select Use same password to control access to Host Settings to control access to the
PC-Duo Host settings on your Host computer (for any person to view or modify these
settings locally) with the same simple password that you provide for any remote
connections to your Host computer.
 Select Use a different password for Host Settings to control access to the PC-Duo Host
settings on your Host computer (for any person to view or modify these settings locally)
with the a different simple password (or no password) that you provide for any remote
connections to your Host computer. If you want to supply a password, type in the same
password in the Settings Password and Confirm Password fields.
If Allow Remote Administration is selected, anyone with administrative privileges on your
Host computer can configure PC-Duo Host settings remotely; otherwise, only the local
logged-in user can access and modify the PC-Duo Host settings.
NOTE: Where possible, it is recommended that Windows authentication be used. Simple
password authentication remains available for those cases where Windows
authentication is not appropriate or is unavailable (for example, Windows XP Home
Edition does not support “classic” authentication security policy, and must use simple
password).
Windows authentication configuration
For authentication based on network credentials, use Windows authentication to check
the identity of PC-Duo Master users who request access to your Host computer. Select
Require Windows authentication from the Security tab. PC-Duo Host will check the
credentials (username/password) of the PC-Duo Master user requesting access against
those kept at the domain controller (usually in Active Directory). If the credentials match,
the connection will be established; if not, connection request will be refused.
