Overview


Prior to Velocity 3.7 SP1 releases, the Velocity Web Service Client (VWSC) application used Anonymous Authentication mode which used the Forms Authentication Provider. As a result, when you initially hit the VWSC website, a login page displays and is authenticated by the Velocity web service.
Starting from Velocity 3.7 SP1 releases, the Administrator can disable Anonymous Authentication and define Windows Authentication to support Auto-login capability. For users logged in as an authorized Velocity operator in Velocity domain into Windows system on their device, the VWSC login page is by-passed to enable Auto-login feature.

The VWSC application uses Anonymous authentication by default. To enable auto-login capability using Windows Authentication you must make configuration changes to the following:
