Hi Ernst,
I doubt it. You've probably used the browser with STN's admin server
before and it's cached the name/password, so it just doesn't ask anymore.
Try changing the username/password, you won't be able to get in then
without re-entering the u/p. It's not up to the browser to allow you in or
not, the server simply will not allow access without the correct u/p pair.
Regards,
John
