Note that if you have installed the CAST Storage Service and CAST Server Manager in the same setup execution, the Connection Profile for the CAST Storage Service should be immediately available and there is no need to manually create it.

In order to establish a connection with your chosen database server or CAST Storage Service, you need to create a profile. This can be done with the Add/Edit Connection Profile dialog box.

What are Connection Profiles?

Profiles are used in Server Manager to store server connection parameters. You can define any number of Profiles allowing you the flexibility to install CAST server-side components on various different servers.

Within a Profile you can define a server, a username and a password along with a number of other connection specific parameters. You can also give each Profile a unique name enabling you to easily identify the server you want to connect to.
