Set IBM Connections server preferences for Files

We can provide the Connections password or specify the address of the server in the Connections preferences page.

If we are already using the Connections Activities sidebar application, the preferences should already be set for you to access Connections Files. If modify the settings, the Connections Server Settings section of the preference page contains the information required to log in to the Files panel of the sidebar. To set the server preferences, complete the following actions:

1. From the panel menu, select Preferences.

2. Fill in the following fields in the Connections Server Settings section:

   Field	Description
   Server URL	Type the Web address of the Connections activities server, beginning with either https:// or http:// For example: https://enterprise.myco.com If we know the server requires a secure, encrypted connection, begin the address with https:// Some administrators change the context roots used to access Connections features. If the Web address that you normally use to access the Activities feature has a value other than <server_name>/activities, specify the server URL using a syntax similar to this: http://enterprise.myco.com/activities Your administrator might have already provided a value for this field using an administrative policy. If so, do not change the value.
   User name	Type the user name for logging into the Connections server.
   User password	Type the associated password.

3. Click Apply to save the changes, and then click OK to close the Preferences window.
