  • Hi,

    It is possible to allow the browser to remember the password and save it locally. You will need to go into advanced customization for the logon.inc page you are wanting to enable this on and search for "autocomplete=" and there should be two occurrences. The first is in the form tag and the second in the input tag. If you remove these

    autocomplete='off'
    from the page. Then save the page and apply the access policy. This should allow the browser to prompt to save the credentials.

    It is more secure to not store the credentials locally (saved in browser) so you will have to make a decision if it the convenience is worth the risk.

    Hope this helps!

    Are you saying you want to do it serverside? That seems REALLY dangerous and undesireable. If anything, you'd want to ask browsers NOT to remember credentials serverside.

     

    Clientside, it's up to the browser if they want to, or if they want to ignore serverside directives not to. I think chrome and firefox remember the credentials and IE may or may not depending on the autocomplete directive.
