Single Client Environment

In a single client environment, when a user first logs into the desktop after a new install, they will be prompted to login with their Lucity user name and password. After the first login, the system will log them in automatically using the Windows Accounts defined in the UIAdmin program. If the user's account does not exist in UIAdmin, the user will be prompted to enter their username and password (standard Lucity login method).

If an administrator would prefer that users not be required to login the first time, the administrator can perform one of the following tasks:

  1. Add a registry key to HKCU\Software\Lucity\User and set the ASCII key = "client" value "clint001".

    OR

  2. Pass a command line to Lucity.exe to tell Lucity what client to use. The administrator can set up a shortcut that will do this, or run this from a console. "C:\Program Files\Lucity\Lucity.exe" /cclint001

Important: If an administrator chooses to perform either of these tasks, we highly encourage users to manually set a password by going to Help > Change Password once they have logged into Lucity. This prevents another user from accidentally or maliciously using the account during a manual login. For additional information, consult the Reset Password topic.
