Selecting user authentication options

You can specify one of two authentication options for users of your world: login authentication or anonymous login.

Login authentication

Each user is prompted by the first database accessed for login information; often this is the database where the world is stored.

Note: If the world accesses more than one database, individual logins might not be valid for all databases, so consider using anonymous authentication. You can then supply security with an application.

Anonymous login

All users can access a world and all data in the world from a shared user name and password. Anonymous access login information is encrypted and stored in the world file (.vis).

Note: If the world has connections to one or more databases, you can use different user name and password combinations for each connection.
