"-user name" argument gives error: Invalid username or password

I am in a DOORS 9.3 environment and DOORS does NOT pre-populate the user name into the login window Username: field (it DID do that in my old job with both DOORS 9.3 and 9.6).

So I tried this: start DOORS with some command line arguments (to add my own menus) and also now the following argument:

-user "<username>"

(where <username> is the required login name)

(I also tried this without the quotes around the login name and get the same results:)

Although it works (login name is pre-populated in the login window as desired), ...

I always get before the login window a DOORS report window with the error message "Invalid username or password".

Any ideas how to prevent that error message?

The way we use to pre-populate DOORS user ID in the login screen is to populate the [System username] in each User's Properties.  That's the ID they use to log into the network. 

Regarding the error you get with your command line method, I can only guess that the <username>  does not match any in the user list. 

Good luck!

Finally had a chance to test this: had an admin change my "System username" from blank to my DOORS login username==my Windows login username.

Now the DOORS login window has my username pre--populated with the correct value.

Thanks!
