To view and/or edit configuration settings for this Host, any Account User can select the Host Settings option in the Host Menu. Before the Account User can view or edit the Host settings, however, he/she must be authenticated by the Host (at this point, the Account User has only been authenticated by the RAS Server). A security popup window will appear that will allow the Account User to provide credentials (Account Username and password) with access rights for this Host. Once the Account User submits valid credentials, the Host Settings popup window will appear.
NOTE:The Host Settings popup window is equivalent to the Host Control Panel (which is accessible from the tray icon in the lower right corner of the Host desktop).
