Automatically logging in to Studio Server using Studio for InDesign and InCopy – Help Center

Studio for InDesign and InCopy can only be used when logged in to an instance of Studio Server. This is normally done by entering a user name and password in the Log In window.

It is also possible to let Studio for InDesign and InCopy automatically log in to the Server each time InDesign or InCopy is started.

Caution: This introduces a security risk when access to the machine on which InDesign or InCopy is not password protected. Use this configuration with care.

Note: This option is not supported when logging in is done via Single Sign-On (SSO).

Name of option: AutoLogin
Location: anywhere between the <Settings> </Settings> tags
