Within the Connection Properties, you can define how you wish to log on to your PADS4 Server. These settings are located in the Credentials tab when adding or editing a server connection.

​
Specifying Logon Details

To set your login preferences:

  1. Open the PADS4 Server Connections window.
  2. Choose to Add or Edit a server connection.
  3. Navigate to the Credentials tab.

​
Required Fields:

  • User Name:
    Enter the account name used to access the PADS4 Server.

  • Password (optional):
    You may leave this blank if you prefer to be prompted at each login.

​
Automatic Login Option:

  • Check Automatic Login to have the application attempt to sign you in automatically when connecting.
  • When enabled, you must also enter your Password.

If the automatic login fails, you will be prompted to enter your credentials manually.

​
Working with Domains

Note: If your PADS4 Server uses Domains, you may specify domain-specific logon details in the Domain section of the connection settings.

This is considered an advanced configuration, and further guidance is available in the PADS4 Installation Manual.

In most scenarios, leaving the Domain setting to Automatic will be sufficient.
