Cause
The availability of the "Remember me on this computer" option is determined by the security setting "Instruct clients to allow autocomplete of credentials." If this setting is unchecked, the server will disable the autocomplete feature for username and password fields on the login page, which also affects the availability of the "Remember me" option in WorkStation.
Resolution
For EBO versions 3.0 and higher:
- Remember me for WorkStation logins can be disabled on the server by navigating to Control Panel->Security settings.
For EBO version 4.0 (EBO 2022) and higher:
- The availability of the "Remember me" option is determined by the "Instruct clients to allow autocomplete of credentials." setting.
- If the checkbox is checked, users can use the "Remember me" option.
- If the checkbox is unchecked, users will not be able to use the "Remember me" option.
- In EBO version 6.0 (EBO 2024) and higher, this option is unchecked by default for new installations. For upgrades, the setting chosen before the upgrade will be retained.
For EBO version 3.x:
- The availability of the "Remember me" option is determined by the "Allow Remember me." setting.
- If the checkbox is checked, users can use the "Remember me" option.
- If the checkbox is unchecked, users will not be able to use the "Remember me" option.
