You must attach to a Web server to manage it.
If the Enterprise PDM Web server system is located behind a firewall, HTTP port 80 (or HTTPS port 443) must be open between the Web server and the client using the Enterprise PDM administration tool (typically it is open).
To attach to a Web server:
-
Right-click
Web Servers and select Add Web Server.
- In the Add Web Server dialog box, type the Web Server Name.
The name is for identification only and does not have to match any real server name.
- Type the Connection URL the Administration tool will use to connect to the virtual directory for Enterprise PDM access files.
Use the format:
http://<webserverURL>/DirectoryAlias>
or if using SSL:
https://<webserverURL>/DirectoryAlias>
- In the login dialog box, type the User name and Password of a user in the SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM Web Admins group on the Web server.
The Web Admins group is created during SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM installation.
If you are logging in a domain user, add the Domain name.
- In the Add Public URL dialog box, type the Public URL that clients outside the network use to access the Enterprise PDM virtual directory.
If you have a DNS name, use the format:
http://<www.company.com>/DirectoryAlias>
If you use SSL for Enterprise PDM Web access, in Secure URL, type the secure connection URL. (that is, https://...)
The Enterprise PDM Web server is listed in the
Web Servers tree in the left pane.
To view or change information about a Web server, right-click it and select Properties.
