    Yes it is. With that checked, it still allows users to clear the
    username and password and have the client retrieve the login credentials
    from the cache. Also, we've made sure to uncheck 'automatically use my
    user name and password' to no effect. It appears this just keeps the
    client from trying the login credentials by default, but still allows
    the user to clear their fields in the dialog which causes the client to
    go back to the cache. Puzzling... I think the solution (if there is
    one) will be something lower level in a registry key that will likely
    have a name like 'DontRetrieveLoginCredentialsFromCache=1' or something
    like that but my research into the MSKB hasn't yielded any such key.

    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

    Scott

    Scott

    Is the option "Prompt for user name & password" in the Options tab
    checked?

    Cheers,

    Marco

    I have a situation on my hands where users have no username and password
    info in the MS VPN connection dialog but when they hit connect the
    client will use the username and password of the currently logged on
    user which grants them a successful authentication. Anyone know how to
    disable this behaviour and require that the user explicitly enter their
    username and password in the connection dialog for each VPN connection?

    Thanks,

    Scott
