Add a Server Connection for iPad and iPhone

To access your organization’s library server, you must add a connection to that server. If your organization has more than one server, you can add connections to additional servers the same way.

Note: Contact your SAS Visual Analytics system administrator for your user ID, password, and server information.

To connect to a server:

Tap in the bar at the bottom of the portfolio or library on your iPad or iPhone.
Tap Add Connection.
In the Server field, enter the address of the new server.
In the Port field, enter the port number for the new server.
Tap the Secure connection switch if the server requires a secure connection (SSL).
Tap Next to verify the connection.

Note: If the connection fails, a message is displayed to help you correct the problem.
If the server provides guest access, the Log on as guest switch appears. Tap the Log on as guest switch to access the server without providing credentials.
If a server requires security credentials to access reports:
1. In the User ID field, enter your user ID.
2. In the Password field, enter your password.
(Optional) In the Description field, customize the description for the new connection.

Note: If you delete the default description, you must enter a new description. The field cannot be blank.
Tap Next to verify your access to the server.

Note: If the verification fails, a message is displayed to help you correct the problem.

The connection is saved, and the Add Connection window closes.

Note: Information about available reports is automatically downloaded and appears in the portfolio or library.
