Disabling PDM Automatic Login

Problem

This article goes over how to disable the SOLIDWORKS PDM automatic login. This will cause the standard Login dialog box to be displayed when accessing the Vault. If a PDM Administrator enables 'Automatic Login on Windows Login', all users will have seamless access to the Vault. However, for various reasons, including shared computers, some users would rather be prompted to log in.

Solution

You can disable automatic login by following these steps:

  1.  Open SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration Tool on the client computer.

  2.  Go to Local Settings and select "Settings"

    Select Settings

  3. In the Vault drop-down menu, select the Vault

    Select the Vault

  4. If 'Automatic login on Windows Login' was configured by a PDM Administrator on the Archive server, uncheck 'Use server default', as shown below

    unchecked_use_server_default

  5. For the automatic login configured on the client's computer itself, uncheck 'Use automatic login for this vault', as shown below

    uncheck use automatic log
  6. Click ‘OK’ to save these settings
