Go Up to Working with ERStudio Repository

To use Repository operations such as check in, check out, and get diagram, you must first specify the Team Server Repository connection details, and then log in to the Repository. To explore the Repository, you need to specify the ER/Studio Team Server server connection details and then log in to ER/Studio Team Server.

  • To activate Team Server log in, check the Also log in to Team Server Core box. This area is not available to users who do not have an Enterprise license.
  • Complete the log in dialog, and then click OK.

The following describes the options that require additional explanation:

User Name: Enter your user name. This is case-sensitive.

Password: Enter your password. This is case-sensitive. You can change your password by selecting Repository > Security > Change Password.

Log in using current Windows Account: Select this option to log in to the Repository and ER/Studio TS using the user name and password of the current Windows user. This option accesses the LDAP server on the network to verify the user's credentials.

Log in via SSO: (ETE licenses only) Select this option to log in to the Repository and ER/Studio TS using the Microsoft Entra ID.

Remember me: Select this option to retain your credentials for faster login next time.

Notes

  • During the Repository Installation, a default user name and password Admin is set as the default. The Administrator should change the Admin password after the initial log in.
  • The Admin user cannot be deleted. This prevents an accidental lockout. You can set up additional users with Roles and Privileges to maintain Repository security.
  • If an administrator changes the repository security, users must log in again to update their permissions.

Logging in to the Repository using Microsoft Entra ID

Before you can log into Repository using Microsoft Entra ID, you must create an App Registration in Microsoft Azure Portal to get the necessary details, such as Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID. Note that you must select multi-tenant authentication during setup in the Azure Portal. Use the Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant - Multitenant) option. For more information about setting up the App Registration, see Configuring Your Azure SSO Provider.

You also must add the following redirect URI: http://localhost/ssoLogin_oauth2_code/azure

When a user logs in via SSO, the open post automatically appends to the localhost provided in the URI. For example, http://localhost:64518/ssoLogin_oauth2_code/azure

If you want to specify a custom port, you can configure it using Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Idera\ER/Studio Data Architect 20.5\Repository. - SSO Redirect URI Port
