Login and Password Data Table in Netutil
The Login and password data table on the netutil startup screen is used for the following tasks:
• To record a remote user authorization using a login account and password on the remote instance’s host machine
• To record a remote user authorization using the Installation Password defined on the remote instance
• To define an Installation Password for the local instance
The information you enter into the fields in the Login/password data table depends on which of the above tasks you are performing. For more information, see
Task-Specific Values for the Login/Password Data Fields.
The Login/password data columns are as follows:

Login
