An important note about authentication: There are 2 separate authentications before you fully gain access to a workstation. The first is considered your NEXODUS User Account. The username is an email address that was supplied to NEXODUS by either you or your employer and grants you the ability to see and launch your workstation(s) from the NEXODUS.Connect application.

The second authentication is your Domain User Account. This is account is managed by your employer and grants you access to the domain, which includes the workstation itself and any network storage, etc that your employer gives you access to.
