Hi All,

Am I the only one that finds it strange that selecting Log Out in IMR, does not log the client out, but falls back to guest login if a such is enabled on the sub-net you are connecting from?

Steps:

- Open IMR.
- D.CLick on a server to connect -> server log's into subnet's auto- login user.
- Right-click on server -> Log In -> type your credentials
- Right-click on server -> Log Out

The Server is now still connected and logged in as the default user for the subnet you connect from.


If this is As Expected, I would like to ask for a Preference to disable it. I find it anoying that I have to log out twice.



This is expected. You logged in two users. You then have to log out two users to disconnect. The ability to log in as a second user was designed to be like 'su' or 'sudo' in unix. You can have a guest/read-only/help-desk user logged in that may not have access to all maps. If you need to change something on a map, you can log in as a user with write access, make the changes, log back out, and the application is in the same state as before.
