Vault Office–Log into a Vault

To work with files that are stored in the vault, you must log into the vault database. If a vault has not been set up, contact your vault administrator.

Note: It is important to log into the vault with a unique user name and password assigned by the vault administrator. The vault provides no protection against multiple simultaneous logins of the same user account.

1. Click Log In on the Autodesk Vault ribbon.
2. In the Welcome dialog box, click Log In.
   Note: To turn off the Welcome dialog box so that it is not displayed each time you log in, turn off Show this dialog at startup.
3. Enter the user name and password assigned to you by your vault administrator.
4. Enter the name of the computer where the server is installed, for example, SERVERNAME. If you do not know the name of the server, contact your administrator.
5. Enter the name of the vault to which you have access. The names of the last several vaults that have been accessed are retained in the drop-down list. You can select the name of the vault from the list or click the expansion button to see the complete list of previously accessed vaults. If you do not know the name of the vault, contact your administrator.
6. Select the Automatically login next session check box to sign in automatically next time.
7. If you have a Microsoft Windows Active Directory account, you can log into the Autodesk Data Management Server using your Microsoft Windows user account credentials. Turn on the Windows Authentication check box.
   • Windows Authentication is available only for Active Directory domains.
   • If you are not using Windows Authentication, then you must have a valid Autodesk Data Management Server account.
   • This option is not available for Autodesk Vault Basic.
     Note: If Windows Authentication is turned on, the User Name field displays the domain name combined with the Windows user name. Neither the user name nor the password can be changed.
8. Click OK.
