Enabling Legacy Authentication Mode

*** INTERNAL USE ***

With the introduction of the new Authentication mode in exacqVision Client and Server 6.8, the temporary admin password no longer works. However, exacqVision Client includes a way to run in Legacy mode, thus enabling the temporary admin password.

<br>

This procedure should be used only by Exacq Technical Support.

Double-click on the LegacyAuthentication.xdv file, which should be associated with exacqVision Client, to open it. This file can be found in the following directories:

<br>

Windows: ../exacqVision/Client/LegacyAuthentication.xdv
OSX: ../edvrclient.app/MacOS/LegacyAuthentication.xdv
Linux: /usr/local/exacq/client/LegacyAuthentication.xdv

<br>

When this file is opened, the temporary admin password is enabled and can be reset. To enable the new Authentication mode, close and re-open exacqVision Client.
