When checked, the "Login Dialog" checkbox that displays to the right of "login" forces the login dialog to be called prior to the connection attempt. This addresses two situations in particular:
| • | the case where you want to display your custom login dialog prior to connection even when the login name and password appear to be already set. |
| • | the ATSD case where ATE cannot rely on standard login status information—or the existence of a name and/or password—to determine if the login dialog needs to be displayed. |
Previous to 6.3.1516 the login dialog was only called after a login failure. Starting in 6.3.1516, it was called prior to the first connection attempt if either the name or password field was blank. Now it is called for the following conditions:
| • | the Login Dialog option is checked |
| • | the name and/or password is set to "[INIT]" |
| • | under UNIX, the login credentials passed to the server are rejected. |
