Before NIM has a default identity, it prompts for a password for <WINDOWS USERNAME>@ATHENA.MIT.EDU. Leash leaves the Name field blank. Leash suggests what kind of name to enter in the line 'You are required to enter your Kerberos Password.'
MIT support staff believe that users will try to obtain credentials and fail, whenever the Windows username isn't the same as the Kerberos username. Has there been any other user feedback about the password prompt dialog? I propose improving the user understanding of the password prompt dialog by: . Adding a line of explanation, as in Leash, above the Username line: "Enter your Kerberos password." . Restoring this Leash behavior: initialize the Username text entry field to blank. . Changing the text "Username" to the left of the text entry field to "Kerberos\r\nUsername." Thanks.
