When you signed the IRIS license agreement, you should have relieved a User Information form. This form will provide you with a username, password, and server name. If you did not relieve this form, please contact your IRIS representative.

Logging in to the IRIS Server

At this point, you should have all of the information you need to run IRIS. If you are not currently connected to the Internet, do so now. Next, start IRIS. After the introduction screen disappears, a login box will appear. There are three input boxes on this form. These correspond to the three pieces of information found on the User Information form. Fill these in exactly as shown on the form (including the proper case). Then press the Connect... button. The connection status dialog will show the progress of the login process. If there are any errors, a description of the error will be displayed The most common error is a User Validation Error. This means that you have incorrectly typed in your username or password. Make sure that these are correct and try again.

After a successful login, the Search Tab will be displayed and it will list several fields which you may use to search the database. For your convenience, the username and server name will default to the last entered information. As a security precaution, the password is not saved.
