Windows Username

4. Windows Username
When in use, the application matches the Username of the logged on Windows user to the value entered for that User in Bp Allied Windows Username field.  A match means that the user is automatically logged in to Bp Allied.
  • It can only be used in Practices that have a Windows Domain set up - eg IRESOLVEIT\Glen, MYPRACTICELIVE\Glen - A domain ensures that all users have unique usernames and that they adhere to their companies password policy.
  • All users in a practice must use the same Authentication Method - ie you cant have some on the Windows Authentication and some on Bp Allied Authentication.
 
This option can only be enabled for use by the Bp Allied Team as there is a setting that needs to be configured in the DBOptions table called Authentication Method.
