Can I prevent users from launching applications with a different username and password?

Yes. In a standard Tarantella installation, users can force Tarantella to prompt them for a username and password by holding down the SHIFT key when they click an application's link on the webtop. To prevent users from being able to do this, you must change the "Save Password" setting on the Application launch panel in Array Manager. The top setting controls when the application server's authentication dialog displays.

The available settings are:

SettingDescription

This is the default Tarantella setting.
