Disable single sign on
By default, if you use ImageNow Interact for Microsoft Office as well as ImageNow Desktop Client, when
you log into one application (ImageNow Interact or ImageNow Desktop Client), you are not required to
enter a user name or password when you initiate a connection to the other program if the single sign-on
option is enabled. If you want to be prompted separately to log in to each program, perform one or
more of the procedures below.
Disable single sign on for all users who connect to an ImageNow Server
By default, ImageNow Interact automatically logs ImageNow Client users into ImageNow when they
connect to ImageNow Server. To require a separate, additional login for all ImageNow Interact users
who have already connected as ImageNow Client users, make the changes described in the following
steps.
1. Use a text editing program to make the following changes on the ImageNow Server computer.
2. In the inserver6\etc\ folder, open the inow.ini file.
3. In the [Logon Control] section, change the single sign on setting as follows:
logon.singlesignon.enable=FALSE
4. Save and close the inow.ini file.
Disable single sign on for a single ImageNow Client user
By default, ImageNow Interact automatically logs ImageNow Client users into ImageNow when they
connect to ImageNow Server. To require a separate, additional login for a single ImageNow Interact user
who has already connected as ImageNow Client user, make the changes described in the following
steps.
1. Use a text editing program to make the following changes on the ImageNow client computer.
2. Open the Documents and Settings\<client user name>\Application Data\ImageNow folder, where
<client user name> is a placeholder for your Windows user name.
3. In that folder, open the imagenow.ini file.
4. In the [Logon Settings] section, change the single sign on setting as follows:
logon.singlesignon.enable=FALSE
5. Save and then close the imagenow.ini file.

Disable single sign on for an ImageNow Interact for Office client
By default, ImageNow Interact for Office users can open and use ImageNow Client after they connect to
ImageNow Server via ImageNow Interact. To require a separate, additional login for a single ImageNow
Interact user before that user can access ImageNow Client, make the changes described in the following
steps.
1. Use a text editing program to make the following changes on the Microsoft Interact client.
2. Open the Documents and Settings\<client user name>\Application Data\Interact folder, where
<client user name> is a placeholder for your Windows user name.
