Authenticating Visaj

When it is run, Visaj tries to authenticate your session - that is, it tries to see if you are allowed to run the application. If you are evaluating the program, it will attempt to get evaluation authentication, and if you have purchased it, it will look for full product authentication. Either of these authentication types can be run over the internet (web authentication) or using a local authentication manager program.

The easiest way to get Visaj running is with web authentication. This connects across the internet and verifies that you are entitled to use Visaj.

Alternatively, you can run a local authentication manager program on your network, and Visaj can get authorisation from this manager. You will normally only need this when you have purchased Visaj, and no longer require any outside authorisation to run the product. However, if you are evaluating Visaj and do not have web access, we can issue you local evaluation key.

To help you configure Visaj with a authentication method that suits you, you should press the Configure... button. The authentication dialog will expand to include:

  • a Web authentication configuration page,and a
  • Local authentication page
  • When you close the authentication dialog, your configuration is saved into the file navajo.properties in your home directory. If you have a full-use authentication key, you will not see the authentication dialog again unless you request it via the Options/Authentication... menu item. If you have an evaluation key, Visaj will show the authentication dialog on each startup. It will tell you how much of your evaluation is left to run, and may give other important information.

    Close the authentication dialog, by pressing the "Continue" button to start Visaj.
