To work with a vault in Autodesk Inventor, log into the server in Autodesk Inventor to which you have access. You must have an account established for you to log into the vault.
It is important to log into the server with a unique user name and password assigned by the server administrator to maintain a secure working environment. Contact the administrator of your server for your account information and server location.
You can specify separate servers for vault and content center using Application Menu 
> Vault ►Connection Options. The default setting is Use a single server for content and vault. We recommend that if you work in a large workgroup, store content center and vault files on separate servers to optimize performance.
If a vault was not set up or you are not sure of the vault server and database names, contact your vault administrator.
Log into Vault
- Select Log In on the Vault ribbon to log in to the Autodesk Data Management Server.
- In the Log in dialog box, enter the user name and password assigned to you by your vault administrator.
- Enter the name of the computer where the server is installed.
- Enter the name of the database to which you have access. The names of the last several databases that were accessed are retained in the drop-down list. You can select the name of the database from the list or click the expansion button to see the complete list of previously accessed databases. If you do not know the name of the database, contact your administrator.
- Select the Automatically login next session check box to sign into the server automatically the next time you start Autodesk Inventor.
