Connecting AdminStudio Client Tools to the AdminStudio Enterprise Server Application Catalog

AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | Application Manager

Edition:AdminStudio Enterprise Server Tools are included with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition.

The AdminStudio Enterprise tools—Reports, Security Console, and (optionally) Workflow Manager—are configured during installation to connect to an Application Catalog, which is referred to as the Enterprise Server Application Catalog.

You can also connect the AdminStudio client tools to the Enterprise Server Application Catalog. This allows you to have all of the client and enterprise tools reference the same database.

To connect to the AdminStudio Enterprise Server Application Catalog from an AdminStudio client tool, perform the following steps.

To connect to the AdminStudio Enterprise Server Application Catalog:

1. Perform one of the following:
AdminStudio—On the Home menu, click Connect.
Application Manager—On the Application Catalog tab menu, click Connect.

The Connect Application Catalog dialog box opens, displaying three tabs: Enterprise Server, Standalone, and Recent.

2. Open the Enterprise Server tab.
3. The URL to the AdminStudio Enterprise Server is listed above the Authentication field. If the AdminStudio Enterprise Server has not yet been configured with the AdminStudio client tools (such as when it is set to its default value of http://localhost), click the URL link to open the Select AdminStudio Enterprise Server URL dialog box, and enter the URL for location of the AdminStudio Enterprise Server associated with this installation of AdminStudio.
4. From the Authentication list, select either AdminStudio Enterprise Server User or Windows Authentication.

Important:When using AdminStudio Enterprise Server User authentication, if Anonymous authentication is turned off in IIS, both the user’s machine and the AdminStudio Enterprise Server need to be on the same domain in order for login to succeed.

5. If you selected AdminStudio Enterprise Server User, enter your AdminStudio Enterprise Server User Name and Password (provided by your System Administrator).
6. Click Login. After a successful login, the Provider, Server, and Catalog name of the Enterprise Server database is listed.
7. Click OK.
