<br>
You are probably creating a new cell, right?<br>
If so, you may run &quot;bos setauth localhost -authrequired off -localauth=
&quot; on your<br>
database server(s).<br>
<br>
If you do that in a living cell it&#39;s a security risk, off course.<br>
<br>
With &quot;bos setauth machine -authrequired on &quot; you can then go back=
 to the secure<br>
mode.<br>
