   Q:  How do I bypass the login prompt to the server in v5?

A:  If you want to create a shortcut that bypasses the login area, right click your shortcut to the administrator, go to properties, then look at the Shortcut tab.

The "target" field will look like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WhosOnV5\WOAdministrator.exe"

If you edit this to look like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WhosOnV5\WOAdministrator.exe" /s=server /u=username /p=password

If you are doing this on the same machine as the WhosOn server is running, it is best to always use (local) for the server address.  This will have access to the full metadata, regardless of what interface is being used.
