When I try and run the solution in Smart Client I’m always asked to login and supply credentials validated in the servoy server yet with web client there is no request to login and can access the solutionwithout a logon.

Am not sure how/why smart client is asking for credentials but I’d like to switch it off for the smart client but can’t see where this is done. It does this for any solution including the servoy training solutions as well.

ffow,

Servoy 5.2 introduced the enhanced security in which a smart client does not have access to the servoy server whithout log-in.  
If the solution does not handle the login via a login-solution, servoy falls back to the default servoy security (which prompts for a user/password).

This can be turned off on the Servoy Admin page, set servoy.application\_server.enhancedSecurity to false.
