Before you can connect to an Optim™ directory,
you must connect to the Optim Connection
Manager that stores the Optim directory
connection information. The web application administrator uses the Optim Connection Manager to create
and maintain Optim directory
connections. Use the Access Existing Optim Directory
wizard to specify the Optim Connection
Manager and the Optim directory
that you want to connect to.
Use the following procedure to connect to Optim Connection Manager and an Optim directory.
- If you are starting Optim Designer
for the first time, in the Directory Explorer, click Click
to log in to Optim Connection Manager. The Access Existing Optim Directory wizard opens.
- Complete the wizard, using the Optim Connection Manager connection information
that your web application administrator provided. Select the Optim directory you want to connect
to and enter the connection string. Optim Designer
connects to the directory. The Directory Explorer displays the contents
of the directory.
- If you have connected to an Optim directory
in a previous Optim Designer
session, the Log-in dialog opens. Enter your Optim Connection Manager user name and password. Optim Designer connects to the Optim directory you were connected
to when you last exited Optim Designer.
The Directory Explorer displays the contents of the directory.
