Password:
A valid Password to an account that has sufficient rights to login to the Operating System of the remote machine.
Domain:

Windows NT Challenge/Response:
This authentication method uses the Operating System's built-in security for authentication.
Use Current Logon Credentials:
Use Current Logon Credentials – This option enables NT Pass-Through authentication for the MRC connection which passes the credentials of the account currently logged into the local machine to the remote machine.
User ID:
A valid account that has sufficient rights to login to the Operating System of the remote machine.
Password:

Proprietary Challenge/Response
Allows the MRC user to define a custom User Name and Password within the MRC Client Agent Service. This allows access to the remote machine without requiring an NT User Name and Password. This authentication method requires the MRC Client Agent Service to be pre-installed on the remote machine.
User ID:
Enter the pre-defined proprietary User Name.
Password:

Smart Card Logon

Shared Secret:
A security feature that allows an MRC user to pre-define an additional password within the MRC Client Agent Service.
Remember Security Credentials:
