That was my understanding also....But in my case, it is again prompting me for userid and password for subsequent pages also...Actually, it asks password 2 times when opening the main page..after that it does not ask for the password... http://ns.sail-steel.com/ userid is guest and password is gst123... I have created it temporarily...
