If you specify prompting for the user name or password, keep the following points in mind:
• If the security scheme at your site is Windows Single Signon (NTSS) the Prompt for: User Name and Prompt for: Password options are ignored unless you specify a user name that is different than the logged in user name. For information about your security scheme, see your administrator.
• If you are connected to multiple Windchill RV&S servers, you will be prompted whenever you run a command that requires a server connection.
