Server Connection
The Server Connection window specifies properties for a new or existing adTempus server connection.
These options only control how the adTempus Console connects to the adTempus Server. To set options for the server, see the Server Options topic. Additional user-specific settings that apply to all server connections can be found in the Console Options window.
To connect to a new server, select the Connect Server...command from the File menu in the adTempus Console. To view or modify settings for an existing connection, right-click the server's name in the Console Tree and select Connection Properties. Use the other commands on this menu to disconnect a server or to remove it from your connection list.
Target
If you are establishing a new connection, specify the server you want to connect to. Select the local computer or enter the name or address of a remote computer.
Instance
If you are connecting to an instance of adTempus other than the default, enter the instance name.
Port
If the adTempus server is configured to use a communications port other than the default, enter the appropriate port value.
Connection Name
Enter a name for this connection. This is the name that will be used to identify the server in the Console Tree. The name can be the same as the server name, or any other name you wish.
Authentication
The Authentication option determines how the adTempus service will identify you.
Windows Authentication
When you use Windows Authentication, you do not need to specify a user ID and password. adTempus identifies you based on your Windows login.
adTempus Authentication
In situations where Windows authentication cannot be used, your adTempus login may have been configured using adTempus authentication, which requires a user ID and password.
Check the Save password option to have your password saved in the connection settings. If you do not check this option, you will be prompted for the password each time you connect to this server.
Prompt when connecting
Choose this option to have adTempus prompt you for login information each time you connect to this server.
Automatically reconnect whenever the Console is opened
If this option is checked the adTempus Console will try to reconnect to this server each time you start the Console. If this option is not checked, the server will still be listed in the Console, but adTempus will not try to connect to the server until you expand its node.
Automatically expand the server's node in the Console Tree
Check this option to have the Console expand this server's node after automatically connecting it.
Make this my default server
You may select one server connection to be your default server. You can use the Startup View setting in the Console Options Window to have the Console go directly to a view within your default server each time you start the Console.
