Automating Login With Windows NT

What you need to know before you can start to automate your login with Windows NT:

  1. Your login name for your PPP account with goldinc (your_userid)
  2. Your password for the PPP account (your_password)
If you have misplaced this info, you should call goldinc.

Using your favorite editor (notepad will do fine) type in the following script into a document. Make sure that you replace 'your_username' and 'your_password' with the proper values. Assuming you have Windows NT installed in C:\WINNT35, save this file as 'C:\WINNT35\SYSTEM32\RAS\SWITCH.INF'. 

[goldinc Login Script]

; Automatic Login Script for Windows NT
;
COMMAND=
OK="n: "
COMMAND=your_username<cr>
OK="d: "
COMMAND=your_password<cr>
OK="e: "
COMMAND=ppp<cr>

Now start 'Remote Access', select the goldinc entry, and click on 'Edit'. If you already have 'Remote Access' running, you will have to restart it. In the next screen, click on 'Security'. In the 'Security Settings' dialog box, select 'Use any authentication including clear text' and in the 'After dialing' option, pull down the list and you will see 'goldinc Login Script'. Select that and click on OK.

Next time you try to connect to goldinc, you should be logged in automatically.
