The Connect to Server dialog box connects you to the Vault server. For more information, please see Working with Repositories.
The Connect to Server dialog box can be opened:
• From the File menu, select Connect to Server
• Upon starting Vault
You can only be connected to one server at a time. Therefore, if connect to a different server during a session, you will be disconnected from the current server.
Username
Type your User name. You must be an active Vault user as defined in the Vault Admin tool.
Password
Type your Password.
Vault Server
Type the name of the Vault server. This is the host name of the server and not a URL.
Use SSL
Check the Use SSL checkbox if you are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for security.
Select Profile
Allows you to select an existing profile. If you select a profile, the information from that profile will be automatically placed in the login fields.
Edit Profiles
Click to bring up the Edit Profiles dialog, which allows you to enter and edit profiles for use in automatically logging in.
Automatically Connect using this profile
Check the Automatically Connect using this profile checkbox to automatically connect to the server specified by the current profile the next time Vault is started. This option is available only if you are currently using a profile, and if that profile is configured to remember the user’s password (since the password must be supplied to automatically login).
OK
Click OK to attempt a login to the specified server. The Connect to Server dialog box will close and the Choose Repository dialog box will open unless you are using a profile that automatically connects to a repository, in which case that profile will be automatically chosen.
Cancel
Click Cancel to close the Connect to Server dialog box. If you are not currently logged in, the client remains in an unconnected state.
