In modern web applications, it's convenient that a user has an option for automatic authentication for his next visits.We offer the same feature for your backend applications. Simply set the following property in your application.xml:
<Application.authenticator>com.sibvisions.apps.auth.AutoLoginAuthenticator</Application.authenticator>
This shows a new checkbox (automatic authentication) in your login dialog and automatically authenticates returning users. If the user logs out manually, the automatic authentication will be disabled until the option is checked again.
The automatic authentication mechanism does not store username and password on the client!
