Where does the suggested login username come from?

Posted on by Wyatt Best

One of my users (User A) was concerned that when she logged into Windows on someone else's machine (User B's machine), User B or User C show up by default as the username in the GP login screen. User A said this never happens on her machine, even after User B or User C user her machine.

User B's machine has a newly-installed copy of Dynamics GP 2013 R2, whereas User A's machine has had it installed for a long time.

User A is concerned that there's a security risk. I'm figuring some .ini file is saving the last login on the machine itself, but I don't really know and want to do due diligence. Any thoughts on what's happening her?

Note: User A's description of the issue was difficult for me to understand. :)

Note: If this is the default GP remembering functionality, it can be turned off by setting the key in the ini file to false,

Remember User = FALSE

This is in the Dex.ini file of the Dynamics GP installation in question.

You will find the last user ID in the dex.ini file which is located in your C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2013\Data folder.
