There are some differences you should be aware of regarding logging in to the Web console versus EAServer using Sybase Central:
Sybase Central does not require you to log in. Sybase Central is not hosted in an application server, has no security in and of itself, and stores its information based on operating system authentication information, not a separate authentication system. Sybase Central stores its information related to who the user logged in to the operating system as and what machine you logged in from.
Web console stores its information based on the user logged in to the Web console. This allows you to retain your preferences no matter what machine you logged in from or who you logged in to the operating system as.
If the Web console is hosted in the same server that you want to connect to, you must log in to both the Web console and the server, using, in most cases, the same user name and password. You can, however, mark your server profile as “auto connect” (described in Table 5-1), which means you only need to log in to the Web console, and it automatically logs in to the server.
