To connect to a server, you must first add the server to SDL Trados Studio. Once you add the server and you successfully connect to it, the server connection details you define are stored in the Servers dialog, where they are managed.
Before you begin
You will need the following information from your system administrator:
- The address of the server computer
- Your user name and password for the server
Procedure
- Go to .
- In the Servers dialog, select Add.
- The Add SDL Server dialog:
- In the Server Address box, enter the address of the server you want to connect to.
- Choose a Port. Port 80 is the default port value, which enables connection via HTTP. However, if you want to connect via HTTPS, select The server requires a secure connection (SSL), and the port value automatically switches to 443.
- Choose an authentication method: Windows or SDL Authentication, and enter the required credentials for the latter option.
- Select Use Windows authentication (current user) if you want to authenticate via Active Directory, automatically, without providing any user name or password. If you want to authenticate as a different Windows user, select Authenticate with a different user and enter your credentials.
- Select Use SDL Authentication and enter your credentials.
Remember: You enable the possibility of connecting with Windows from within SDL Trados GroupShare.
- Select OK. The server status is displayed in the Servers dialog, indicating whether the server is available to connect to.
- Select Close.
