We do not have this problem with CA V3R3M0.  With Win95/98 you can check
"Save password" and never get prompted.  I run WinNT so I would get prompted
once, but not again until I had logged off NT and back on.  (I say "would"
because I'm running CA Express V4R4 now.)  I have six display emulation
sessions and two printer emulation sessions and would only get the CA
user/password prompt when starting the first session after having logged on
to NT.

Do you have the latest PTFs on the AS/400 for host servers and the latest CA
service pack?
