How do I use my Windows user name and password to log in?

Set up the Connect security settings to allow a user to use the their Windows user name and password to sign into Connect Applications. When a user logs into Connect and the option to use active directory is selected, Connect will use the Windows user name and password instead of requiring a user to enter a Connect user name and password. This option allows the user to bypass the Connect login dialog box to launch the Connect main applications window. Anyone who is using Microsoft Windows with a user name and password can use this option to log in. 

Does this mean Connect has access to the Windows user name and password for my Connect users? No, Connect does not save or store the Windows user names and passwords for Connect users.
