Admin Tip # 20 : Disable DUN's save password feature

Hits: Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3


Many of us have failing memories. For us, it is a very nice feature to have the DUN (Dial-Up Networking) program remember the password for logging onto a network. This is also a serious security problem for laptop users. To disable, use the following registry hack:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters
Name: DisableSavePassword
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

After reboot, DUN will no longer disable the Save Password check box, nor will it remember any passwords set prior to this registry change.




Excellent!!!! Scary. Hack Win9x, NT, Netware, Unix, Web, ...
