When I try to browse to a device (such as an SLK) from the SLM navigation tree, after clicking the browse button a "Page cannot be displayed" message is shown in the SLM web interface.

In each device page listed in the SLM (i.e. SLK, SLC, etc., listed in navigation tree) fields are available to configure a login-name and password for SLM initiated browser sessions to the device.

If these fields are left blank and the Browse icon is clicked, normal web access is initiated. If login-name/password is required, the user will be prompted. If the fields are filled in, then an automatic login is attempted without prompting the user again.

However, there are 2 caveats:

1. The login-name and password are sent in clear text and are therefore insecure. Using the login-name and password fields is only recommended if the network infrastructure is within a secure facility.

2. The auto login feature listed above is disabled by default in Internet Explorer. To enable the auto login feature, download and execute the attached registry file.

This information is taken from Microsoft Knowledge base article ID 834489.
