Log In to Vault

00:08

This is the workflow overview for the module,

00:10

the first task you will learn about is how to log in to Vault.

00:17

To begin with, we will review log in to the Vault professional client.

00:21

The log in command is under the file menu within the Vault client interface.

00:26

Once the command is selected,

00:28

the log in dialog displays where you can enter your

00:30

log in credentials and select the server and Vault specifics.

00:35

The log in dialog box will also display

00:37

automatically when you launch Vault professional,

00:41

you can select the automatically log in next session option.

00:44

If you want to bypass the log in dialog box completely.

00:52

Note that the log in dialog box you see when logging in to the Vault client

00:56

is the same as the one that displays when logging in to Vault

00:60

from inventor

01:01

With the Autodesk Vault add in form inventor.

01:04

To log in to Vault from inventor, you select the Log in button from the Vault tab.

01:09

The log in dialog box displays and is where you enter your log in credentials.

01:14

Same as when logging in to the Vault client.

01:20

When logging in to the Vault client or logging in to Vault

01:23

from within software environments such as inventor or AutoCAD.

01:27

Using a Vault add in,

01:29

you first enter the authentication method.

01:32

The choices are Vault account or Windows account.

01:35

Starting in version 2022.

01:37

There is also an Autodesk ID Authentication method.

01:44

Next is to specify the user name,

01:47

the Vault account user name

01:49

that has administrative rights by default is administrator

01:53

If using the Windows account authentication method,

01:57

the user name and password is automatically filled in for you.

02:01

If you select the Autodesk ID Authentication method,

02:04

you will need to sign in to your Autodesk account.

02:12

The administrator Vault account. User does not have a password by default.

02:16

Note that for the Vault account authentication, the password is not required

02:21

as previously mentioned. If using Windows authentication,

02:25

both the user name and password is filled in automatically.

02:28

If you are using Autodesk idea authentication,

02:31

you are prompted to sign in using your Autodesk ID credentials

02:39

for the server, you enter either the name or IP.

02:42

Address of the Autodesk data management server

02:45

also known as ADMS.

02:53

For the Vault you click the

02:55

three dots Menu or Browse button

02:57

to see the list of Vault databases

02:60

you can choose from and select the one you would like to access.

03:08

In this demonstration we will log in to the Vault client and

03:12

then we will log in to Vault from the inventor environment.

03:20

We select File

03:22

log in from the Vault client and use the Vault account authentication method.

03:27

In this case an administrator for the user name.

03:30

We also enter the password and the name of the Autodesk data management server.

03:35

And select the Vault from the list.

03:38

In this case it's My-intro-Vault

03:42

we click OK.

03:43

And we can see here that we're logged in as administrator

03:48

to the My-intro-Vault.

03:51

Database.

03:53
