This article was previously published under Q126701 SUMMARY
This article expands on the Help information found in the Windows NT Remote
Access Service (RAS) client (RASPHONE.HLP) and describes a more convenient
way to gain network access to a RAS server domain other than the RAS
client's domain.
MORE INFORMATION
When you do not use the Authenticate Using Current User Name And Password
option in RAS and you request Help in the Authentication dialog box,
information appears describing how to log onto a domain other than the RAS
client's domain. This Help information also describes how to avoid having
to press CTRL+ALT+DEL every time you log on to that domain.
However, the Help information does not mention that your Windows NT RAS
client will cache your remote logon credentials after you have logged onto
the domain the first time, allowing subsequent logons to the domain to be
automated.
To do this, connect to the RAS server and log on to its domain once as
described in the Help information (by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL). After that,
log on to its domain before you are connected to the RAS server and allow
Windows NT to log you automatically with cached credentials when you
connect.
