Connecting to Optim Connection Manager and an Optim directory

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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
