Subject: Network Identity Manager
I am hoping to reach the developers for Network Identity Manager.  The login window pops up as my system is booting.  I often get part way through typing my password, when another startup application pops up over the ID Mgr window.  I often click on the top bar of the window to return focus to the application, and complete typing my password.  However, the field of focus is now the Username field, and not the password field.  The "fix" should be me clearing the field and then ensuring the right info is in the right box.  However, the application remembers whatever you type into the Username field, so clicking the down arrow dutifully displays fragments of my password!  Yikes!  I poked around, and finally cleaned out the mess from the registry.  Perhaps the app should only "remember" usernames that have successfully logged in?

Cheers,
Tanya

Tanya:

Thank you for the report. This is a known issue with the design of
Network Identity Manager version 1.3.x and not with version 2.0.
Network Identity Manager v 2.0 is available from
http://www.secure-endpoints.com/netidmgr/v2/ and will begin to be
distributed by Stanford University over the Summer.

If you have further questions, please direct them to
netidmgr@secure-endpoints.com.
