Use_Network_Name Initialization Variable

Sets whether VSS reads users' logon names from the operating system. Used in the SRCSAFE.INI file only.

Syntax

Use_Network_Name = {Yes|No}

Example

Uses network logon names as VSS logon names:

Use_Network_Name = Yes

Remarks

Set this to No only if you want all the VSS users to use logon names different from their network logon names. If you set it to No, VSS displays a logon dialog box unless you are supplying a username in some other way (such as through an environment variable).

When set to Yes, VSS uses the network logon name for Windows as the VSS username. If the network name matches a VSS username, the logon to VSS is automatic.

This variable can also be set in your SS.INI file by using the Use Network Name For Automatic User Log In option that can be accessed from the Tools menu, by clicking Options, then selecting the General tab.
