Authentication Types not all showing

avatar

Hi there,

When connecting to a PC using the Wayk Client for the first time , the only available authentication type is SRD despite having a default config. However, once this session is over and I connect a second time, I do get the other options (like prompting) to choose from. After quiting the Client for a few minutes and trying the same connection again, I'm back to SRD only. Is there a way to solve this? Ideally we'd like to go to a prompt-only config for certain PC's and this is obviously stopping us. Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Niels

Hi,

Other authentication types (SRP, PFP) should only appear in the client if on the target machine there is:

1) An active, logged in user session
2) The Wayk Agent program is running

And by Wayk Agent program here I do not mean the background service, but really the Wayk Agent window that shows the SRP password. In other words, SRP and PFP are only available for *attended* connection use cases, where a user is already present at the computer to assist with the connection process by communicating the SRP password, or accepting the PFP prompt.

Are these conditions met when connecting the first time?

Hi Marc,

That explains a lot. I assumed (wrongly) that the background service would e enough. Thanks for the clarification.
