Connecting to ManicTime server
Testing the connection to the server
Before you try to connect to the server from ManicTime, make sure that the server is visible. Open web browser and navigate to the server's URL. By default, server will be at
http[s]://<ip or name of server>:8080/If you are asked for credentials or you see a page, then the connection is working. If you don't, then the server is probably behind firewall. Check with your network administrator about allowing incoming connections to the machine, where the server is running.
Connecting to server from ManicTime
To set up a connection to the server, open ManicTime, then go to Tools and settings -> Edit server.
Authentication
If you chose Windows users during setup:
If you are using Windows domain, then you can just use “Current user” option and it should work.
If you are not using Windows domain (or don't know what Windows domain is), then try the username and password you use to login to the machine, where ManicTime Server is running.
If the user is part of a domain, you usually need to include domain with the username ( DOMAIN\UserXY )
If you chose ManicTime Server users during setup:
Click on "Following user" and then write correct username and password.
