Logging In to a Secure Application Server

To ensure the security of data, some Application Servers run as secure servers. A secure Application Server requires that you provide a user name and password before you can access the server's data. If your Xplore application runs with a secure Application Server, then the following page appears when you start Xplore:

After you enter a user name and password, click Submit. When you are authorized, Xplore brings up a list of libraries in the left frame (see the following screen) and enables you to begin using Xplore.

Authorization to a secure Application Server can expire after a certain amount of time (determined by your administrator). This means that you could leave your Web browser for a period of time and come back to an expired Xplore session.

If your session expires, an error message appears that says your session is an invalid session ID when you try to use Xplore.

To restore authorization, you must either restart Xplore or use the Web browser's Back button to return to the login frame and resubmit your user name and password.
