Allow user name to be saved in a cookie with LogMeIn Central Host Preferences

Deploy settings allowing client-side users to save their Windows user name in a browser cookie. As a result, users will only need to enter a password to authenticate when connecting from the same client.

Before you begin:

Host Preference Packages can only be applied to Windows hosts.

Who can use this feature? The Host Preference Packages feature is available to any Account Holder of a LogMeIn Central Base account. For those Account Holders who have not switched over to a Base plan yet, a LogMeIn Central Premier or Plus subscription is required. Users of such accounts also need the Configuration Management permission.

Host Preference Packages allow you to define and deploy preferences and security settings to Windows hosts in your LogMeIn Central account.

This option is selected by default (cookies can be saved). Revoke this permission to force users to manually enter a Windows user name when connecting.

  1. Create a Host Preference Package, as follows:
    1. In LogMeIn Central, go to the Configuration > Host Preferences page.
    2. Select Add Package.

      Result: The New Host Preference Package page is displayed.

    3. Name your new Host Preference Package.
    4. Select Save.
  2. Under Category, select Access Control.
  3. Select Save user name in a cookie.
  4. Continue to add settings to the Host Preference Package. When ready, select Finish and Save.
  5. Assign the Host Preference Package to computers or groups, as follows:
    1. In LogMeIn Central, go to the Configuration > Host Preferences page.
    2. Select Edit or Click here to assign next to the Host Preference Package you want to assign.
    3. Choose computers and groups using the left and right arrows.
    4. Select Save.
