Property Value

Type: AFGlobalSettingsPreferOpenId
This setting is used by clients to determine if the user should be prompted to select an authentication mode when first connecting to a server. This value defaults to Prompt

Remarks

If the option is set to Always client applications will automatically popup a browser to get OpenId credentials when first connecting to servers that support OIDC. If the option is set to Never client applications will prefer connecting as the current windows user. If the option is set to Prompt client applications will prompt the user for their selection each time. This setting does not affect behavior when using "Connect As" options in PSE and Builder.
