Logging On

Before you can use StarTeam from within Eclipse, you must create a connection to a StarTeam server configuration and then log on to that server configuration.

StarTeam uses a standard Eclipse feature to store password information. The Eclipse encryption tool keeps password information securely hidden.

Open the Server Explorer.
Right click on the server configuration that you wish to access, and choose Log On from the context menu. The Log On dialog box opens.
Type a User name and Password in the appropriate text boxes. Passwords are case sensitive and may have length restrictions.
Check Save as default credentials for this server.
Click OK.

Once you are connected to a StarTeam server configuration, the name of the logged on user displays in the Server Explorer and in the status bar at the bottom of the Eclipse UI.

Note: The Log On dialog box does not use cached logon data. If you need to log on as a different user, run the Log On command again from the context menu.
