Connections dialog

When you launch the HPE Service Manager Windows client, the Connections dialog box appears. You can use the dialog box to set up new connection shortcuts to the server and to manage existing connections shortcuts.

The Connections dialog box is important if you are an administrator using the Client Packaging Utility to create a single branded installation.

Click the filter button to filter server connections so that only a few connections are displayed or a specific connection is displayed. By typing the beginning letters or complete name of the connection in the filter text box, so only those connections that match what you type appear in the list of server connections.

Note Some options may not be visible on a repackaged client.

The Connection tab on the Connections dialog box has the following options.

Option	Default value	Definition

Use Login/Password	Enabled	When this option is enabled, Service Manager uses the login name and password information defined in the Connection dialog to create a client/server session.
