Proxy Login Screen

SyncIT will show a proxy login screen if you connect to the Internet through a secure firewall or proxy and this firewall or proxy requires you to log in before browsing the Internet.

Normally, this screen will appear each time the SyncIT BookmarkSync software starts up (each time you log in to, or restart, your computer).

If you select the Save Password checkbox, SyncIT will remember the username/password for your proxy and thus will not display this screen the next time you restart your computer.

The normal behavior of the SyncIT BookmarkSync software is to connect to the SyncIT database on the Internet each time you modify your bookmarks. If you have a secure gateway that uses frequently changing passwords (say a WatchWord or Security Dynamics based password device) then this screen may appear every time you change your bookmarks. Clear the Continue automatic synchronizing checkbox to prevent SyncIT from connecting automatically. You may also change this setting from the popup menu by choosing the Auto Sync menu item.

Note: if automatic synchronizing is disabled, then the SyncIT taskbar icon will remain gray after any changes to your bookmarks. Double-click on the icon (or use the Sync Now! popup menu item) when you're ready to synchronize your bookmarks.
