The Authentication Dialog Window

When you post an article, mail a message, or cancel an article from InterNews, you may see the Authentication dialog. This dialog asks for your user name and password to be checked by the configured authentication host. These should be the same user name and password that you use for electronic mail.

InterNews  will only present this dialog once per session if you are authenticated. You can set a preference to have InterNews  remember your user name and password in your subscription file. If you do, be careful not to share that file with anyone else. They will be able to send articles and mail using your name. The purpose of authentication is to ensure as much as possible that the author of every message sent from InterNews  holds a valid electronic mail account at your site so that responses will be directed back to the correct person.
