Adding Access to a Server Configuration

You can access one or more server configurations from Layout Designer. When adding access to a server configuration, you must provide the domain name (DNS) or IP address and appropriate endpoint for that server configuration. After the server configuration is added, users can access whatever projects are available for that server configuration.

You can add server configuration access as part of creating a project or as part of opening an existing project.

To add access to a server configuration:

  1. From the New Template Wizard dialog, click Add Server. The StarTeam Add Server dialog appears.
  2. Enter a description in the Server Description field. This is a unique descriptive name for the server. It is not case-sensitive. It can be any name you want.
  3. Enter the address in the Server Address field. The address is the computer name or IP address.
  4. Enter the correct TCP/IP endpoint in the Endpoint field. The endpoint is the port number associated with the protocol.
  5. (Optional) Select the Use TLS protocol checkbox if the Server port uses TLS protocol. This is optional as the client automatically enables the checkbox if server port uses TLS protocol.
  6. (Optional) Select the Compress Transferred Data checkbox to compress data transferred between your workstation and the server.
  7. (Optional) Select a minimum encryption type check box to encrypt data transferred between your workstation and the server. Encryption protects files and other project information from being read by unauthorized parties over unsecured network lines (like the Internet). The encryption types are ordered (top to bottom) based on speed and security. Each encryption type is slower, but safer, than the type that precedes it in the list. For more information about encrypting data, see the StarTeam Help.
