Log into the File Server

Before you can use the Autodesk File Server, you must log in as an administrator.

Note: The administrator account must have access to the Autodesk Data Management Server (adms)

On the Windows® Start menu, select Autodesk Data Management ► Autodesk Vault File Server [Edition].

The Log In dialog box is displayed.

Select the appropriate Authentication method:
- Vault Account: Requires a Vault-specific user name with a password.
- Windows Account: Uses Windows Active Directory credentials, which are entered for you.
- Autodesk ID: Uses Autodesk ID credentials.
Enter the server name where the adms is installed.
Enter the User Name and Password for an administrator account that can access the adms. If you are using Windows Active Directory or Autodesk ID, this information is entered for you automatically.

If you select Autodesk ID, you will need to sign-in to your Autodesk account.

In the Autodesk - Sign In dialog box, enter the e-mail address you used when you registered for your account.
Enter your password.
Click Sign in.

Note: To log out of a particular Autodesk ID user, you need to have another Autodesk application installed on the machine. If no other Autodesk product is on the machine, you won't be able to log out of that Autodesk ID user.
