Log In Dialog

When the client application is started a log in window appears. This allows the user to enter his/hers username and password in addition to the address and port of the server to be accessed. The user name and password must be entered, however, the user may leave the server and port addresses blank, in which case the application will use a set of default parameters for these choices. Currently the application requires that you enter the numerical ip address of the server as the program doesn't perform any name lookup.

After the login you will be greeted with the main window of the application. If the login was successful this window will initialise by obtaining information about the available data from the database. If you were not succesful in loggin in this will be obvious as there will be no entries available in the database table selector (see Main Window for details).
