Accessing a Remote Server requires you to "present your credentials" consisting of your Username and Password. If Alventis does not already know them, it will present you with the opportunity to specify them in the Authentication Dialog.

You are given 5 attempts to properly specify a valid Username and Password combination. The Password is case-sensitive.

The two checkboxes on the right allow you to ask Alventis to remember your Username and, optionally, Password so as to not prompt you in the future. Having Alventis remember both obviously lowers your security if you are not the only person who has access to your computer. Knowing this, a security-conscious Server (well, its administrator, of course) may not allow your copy of Alventis to remember either or both. This is controlled from the Credentials Caching group of controls in the Settings tab sheet of the Administration form. You cannot know in advance what the Server may permit you to remember, and Alventis will ignore your request if it has to, so don't be surprised if it "doesn't work": Alventis may be simply complying with the Server's security policy.

You can Cancel the dialog thus abandoning your attempts to connect to the Server. This would happen if you got prompted for your credentials when you did not really intend to make a connection or if you realized that you don't remember your Username or Password.
