   * **Domains allowed to connect** list (separated by semicolons) the domains you wish to allow integrated logins from.
-  * **Domain group** The active Directory group that controls access to IQX
+  * **Domain group** The Active Directory group that controls access to IQX
+Users' IQX login names must match their Windows user names.
+==== To Configure in Active Directory ====
+Set up a group in Active Directory, and make authorised users of IQX members of that group.
-==== To Configure in Active Directory ====
+==== Using Integrated Logins ====
+If integrated logins are enabled (see above), when IQX is launched it checks whether the current Windows user is:
+  * a properly authorised member of an authorised domain
+  * a properly authorised member of the active directory group specified
+  * is a valid, current IQX user defined in IQX user maintenance
+  * the shortcut clicked specifies the required database
+If all these conditions are satisfied, the user is logged in to IQX without the normal login dialog box being displayed. The user is given the user rights and credentials specified in IQX for that Windows user.
+If any of these conditions are not met, then the usual IQX login dialog box is shown.
+==== Using a different database or connecting as a different user ====
+After connecting as the current windows user. Choose File | Change User from the IQX menu. The the usual IQX login dialog box is then shown.
-Active Directory setup will require System Administrator/IT department set up.
+Alternatively, and this is the best method if wanting to force a database update, add the parameter **NoAuto** to the command line when starting IQX. **The parameter is case sensitive and must be the last parameter**. If using a Windows shortcut to launch IQX, the parameter should be added to the command line shown in Target field in the Shortcut tab of the Properties dialog box.
