Allow User to Save
Credentials

CS-MARS when obtaining event information:
•Prompt users—When the user tries to get event information from
CS-MARS, prompt the user to log into CS-MARS. If you select
this option, you can also select Allow User to Save Credentials,
which gives users the option to save their credentials so they do not
have to log into CS-MARS again the next time they request event
status.
•Use CS-Manager Credentials—When the user tries to get event
information from CS-MARS, log into CS-MARS using the same
username and password the user used to log into Security Manager.
