Log into Connect with Your Windows Password


Starting with the May 2021 release,  Connect now allows you to log into the application without a separate password.  Instead, you can login using the network username and password that you use to sign into Windows.

Some setup needs to occur in the Connect security settings.  Once this is done, Connect will use the Windows user name and password instead of requiring a user to enter a separate Connect user name and password. This option allows the user to bypass the Connect login dialog box to launch the Connect main applications window. Anyone who is using Microsoft Windows with a user name and password can use this option to log in. 

First, find the active directory domain 

1. Click Windows Start menu  and select File Explorer.

2. Right-click Network.

4. Write down the domain name. Example: organizationnet.local



Domain network name

 

Second, set up the active directory option

1. Open Connect System Management > Security > Modify Security Settings.

2. Click to select the Use Active Directory checkbox.

3. Click to select the Allow Single Sign-on checkbox.

4. Use the Domain box to enter the domain name. 


      a. Use Active Directory - users will be need to log in using their Active Directory / Windows password
      b. Allow single sign-on - users will be able to leave the password blank on the Caselle login screen when logged into their computer.  If logging in on someone other users computer they will enter their Active Directory / Windows password

5. Click Save (CTRL+S). 

Connect security setting is set up to allow users to use their Windows user name and password to log into Connect Applications. You will be prompted to synchronize Connect users with the active directory. You can synchronize the active directory now or you can use the Synchronize Active Directory view later.


In order for this to work properly the Caselle User ID must match the Active Directory User ID
