Adding Access to a Server Configuration

You can access one or more server configurations from StarTeam Cross-Platform Client. 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.

  1. From the New Project Wizard dialog, click Add Server. The StarTeam 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 and cannot contain colons (:). It can be any name you want.
  3. Enter or browse for 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 Compress Transferred Data check box to compress data transferred between your workstation and the server.
  6. (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.
  7. Click OK to return to the New Project Wizard dialog box.
