This tab controls the Multiuser login information enabling a ROB-EX client to connect to a ROB-EX Multiuser Server. The tab also controls setup, execution and information about archiving.

The Archive area in this tab is only enabled for users logged in to the Multiuser with permission to do archiving. Also see the general overview of the Multiuser possibilities and the Archive chapter.

	Server Host specifies the hostname of the server that runs the ROB-EX Multiuser Server and separated by a ‘:’ also the port number applicable for the server (default 11099). In case a company has several Multiuser plans (instances) running on the same server PC, different port numbers must be specified for each of the plans. Typical port number for instance no. 2 will be 11199.
	The login name of the user. The user must have been previously created using the Multiuser Server administration web-pages, normally available on http://:8080/gantt, e.g. localhost:8080/gantt (note that Admin permissions is required to create new users). The permissions a user receives when logging in (e.g. planner or viewer permissions) is also controlled when creating or modifying users via the administration web-pages.

To get the possible sites that the user have access to, simply click the “Get sites” button. When clicking the “Get sites” button, the users credentials are first checked, so if the username and password are wrong, the user will be presented with an error. If the correct credentials are entered, the “Site Id” dropdown menu is populated with the sites that the user have access to. The sites that will be available can be configured from the Multiuser Server administration web-pages.

If the login or the password is not correct the user is presented with at message saying that the user could not be validated.   The “Test” button can also be used to test the connection to the ROB-EX Multiuser server. If there is no connection the message “Failed to initialize security manager” is shown. If the connection to the ROB-EX Multiuser server is lost when the user is working in the ROB-EX client the message “The connection to the server has been lost….” is shown. The connection to the ROB-EX Multiuser server must be tested, if necessary the administrator must be contacted in order solve the problem.
