What is the default user name and password the Ranker selects?
When you first run a benchmark and the Ranker is not configured, the Ranker configuration dialog is presented with default settings and credentials.
Note: These are for convenience ONLY. If you cancel the dialog, the ranker *is not* enabled.
- User Name: Your user name on the computer.
- Password: The name of your computer (hostname)*. Not the model of your computer (e.g. Asus P8GMX).
- Team Name: The computer manufacturer's name (e.g. Asus) or your country (e.g. USA)
* Why is this selected as default password?
The name of the computer (hostname) is never transmitted to the Ranker or is shown anywhere; it is unlikely people outside your circle of friends would know it.
* Why have a password at all?
It stops other people messing with your account.
* Why not default to no account at all, i.e. anonymous?
The Ranker would not be able to identify your previous results and assign them to you.
