Installation and configuration

Setup wizard will help you to configure BioUML workbench and configure connection with remote databases on BioUML server.

Setup wizard is started automatically during first and further runs of BioUML workbench till you uncheck Show on startup check box.

You can also start Setup wizard from menu: File > Setup wizard.

The wizard will guide you through 3 steps:

1.	Proxy settings (Figure 2.2) - you should specify HTTP proxy server settings. This is essential if you would like to work with remote databases from BioUML server and your network is protected by firewall.

Single Sign On (Figure 2.3) - this mechanism allows you to login into BioUML workbench only once.Then BioUML workbench will store and use all your logins and passwords for access to protected databases on the BioUML server. This information is stored in encrypted form.

Check Use single sign on checkbox if you would like to use single sign on mechanism. After that you should specify your User name and Password. During next run BioUML workbench asks you this information for log in (Figure 2.4).
