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
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 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 the Host settings remotely; otherwise, only the local logged-
in user can access and modify the 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 the Master users who request access to your Host computer. Select
Require Windows authentication from the Security tab. the Host will check the credentials
(username/password) of the 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.
