[protege-discussion] connecting for Protege Collaboration

[Jack Elliott]

Hi Julian and Zora,

When connecting to a 'remote' Protege server, Protege 3.4.x (which is 
what I think you are using) needs to know three things; the Protege user 
you want to use, the password for that Protege user and the hostname of 
the server to connect to.

By default Protege comes configured with a Guest user (password same as 
username, but all lowercase), so the entries for User Name should be 
Guest and password same again, but all lowercase. The machine name 
should be name of the machine you are connecting to.

To find the machine name, go to where you are running the server and 
type hostname on the command line. This should give you a name that you 
can enter into the Host Machine Name field.

With these three pieces of information, you should be able to click on 
OK to connect.

thanks,

Jack
