Discovering authentication credentials
You can save the current connection to a desktop icon on the client computer:

A desktop icon provides an extremely quick and convenient way of reconnecting to a host computer. Simply double-click the icon to connect. The AMT Server network address and any authentication credentials are remembered, so you do not have to, and your preferred VNC Viewer Plus environment for controlling the host computer is automatically recreated each time.
To save the current connection to a desktop icon:
1. In VNC Viewer Plus,
click the Save Connection
toolbar button.
2. If you entered a password in order to connect to AMT Server, you are prompted to save it. Note that doing so may constitute a security risk, since the password is saved in obfuscated, though not encrypted, form. If you do not save the password, you must enter it each time you connect.
3. Choose a location to save the icon file to (for example, the desktop), and an intuitive name.
