Logging in to a LiveCycle ES server

Before you can create form designs and processes, you must log in to a server. The user profile that you use to log in must have the Application Administrator or Super Administrator role assigned. This profile can be yours or the sample user profile of Kel Varsen. Consult your administrator to find out which profile to use. Steps in this tutorial use the Kel Varsen profile.

To log in to a server:

  1. From the Start menu, select Programs > Adobe > Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES 8.2 to start LiveCycle Workbench ES
  2. Select File > Login. The Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES login window appears.
  3. In the Username box, type kvarsen and, in the Password box, type password.
  4. Beside the Log On To list, click Configure. The Manage Configured Servers dialog box appears.
  5. Click the Add buton  . The Adding New Server dialog box appears.
  6. In the Server Title box, type LiveCycle ES Server to describe your server. The name you enter is only a mnemonic name that is meaningful to you and is displayed as part of the Log On To list in the Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES login window.

    Note:   As you type the name, the same text appears in the Hostname box.

  7. In the Hostname box, delete the displayed name and type either the name or the IP address of the LiveCycle ES server. You may need to consult with your administrator to get this information.
  8. In the Protocol list, select either Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP/HTTP) or SOAP/HTTPS. The name you choose specifies the connection protocol. You may need to consult with your administrator.
  9. In the Server Port Number box, use the provided port number. The value you type is used to specify the port number that is used to connect to the server. You may need to consult with your administrator.

    The dialog box should look similar to this illustration:

  10. Verify your settings and click OK.
  11. When you return to the Manage Configured Servers dialog box, click OK.
  12. In the Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES login window, verify that you selected the correct server from the Log On To list. This window should look like this illustration:
