Functional Preferences

The area where you enable or disable functional preferences for the client.

Activate User Runtime Interface - (Session Property only)

Enabling the runtime interface option removes the access to the Default Properties menu option on the Edit menu. It also limits the range of available options on the PROIV Session Properties window to runtime functionality only. This setting supports password protection, consequently you are asked to enter a password twice and these entries must match. The password is encrypted and stored in the PIV.

This password is then required to reinstate access to the Default Properties menu option and the full set of options on the PROIV Session Properties window.

Auto Connect

Use a pre-defined user name and password to connect to the kernel without user interaction. This applies to Unix and IBM.

Note that Windows kernels do not use these fields during connection. Only the user name value is needed to drive automatic logon to PROIV for a Microsoft Windows kernel.
