Error logging in using a reference ID

I am creating an ID in SU01. In the "logondata" tab I marked the user type as "Reference," but when I try to log into SAP it prompts me to log on with a dialog user. How can I enter without this prompt?

Reference IDs are a concept to simplify user administration and assignment of access rights. A reference ID cannot be used for a login. A reference user is assigned to a user in the role tab of transaction SU01.
