## Providing Users with Access to Served Catalogs

Once a catalog is served you will want to give users access to the catalog. The process from a Server Administration standpoint is summarized here.

To access served catalogs:

1. Note the name given to the Portfolio Server(s) that you wish to give access to.

   Server names are displayed on the Connect to Servers dialog (File > Connect to Servers) and the Administer Servers dialog (File > Administer Servers).

2. Give this name to your Portfolio users.

3. On the user’s machine, launch Portfolio 5.0, then choose File > Connect to Servers...

   The Connect to Servers dialog will be displayed.

4. Choose “Add Server...” and enter the name and IP address of the Portfolio Server.

   The client application will poll the Server and display any catalogs being served.

5. Click “OK” then click “Done.”

   The user can now open catalogs served on that Server.

Notes on Accessing Served Catalogs:

- Client machines must have TCP services active to access the Server. For Mac OS clients, the machine must be using Open Transport TCP 1.1 or higher; classic networking is not supported.

- Clients can access a served catalog in Administrator mode, but all other users must be logged off first. You can log users off from the Server Administration dialog, or users can simply disconnect.

- The client application will attempt to open the catalog in the mode set in the user's Preferences. If the preference is set to Administrator, the client application will automatically attempt to connect to the catalog in Publisher mode.

  Note: The user will be asked to enter a Password if the catalog requires it.

- For more information on installing and using the client, refer to the other sections of Portfolio Online Help or the Portfolio User Guide.
