How to Configure the SGD Client

The first time you start the SGD Client, it asks for the following information:

• The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the SGD server to which it connects. This is usually http://server.example.com/sgd, where server.example.com is the name of an SGD server.

• The proxy settings to use. The settings can be determined from your default browser, requiring Java technology, or you can type them in.

1. Start the SGD Client for the first time.

   • On UNIX and Linux platforms:

     $ cd $HOME/bin
     $ sh ttatcc

   • On Windows platforms:

     Click Start -> All Programs -> Oracle Secure Global Desktop -> Login.

   The Client Connection Settings dialog box is shown. See Client Connection Settings Dialog Box.
