Adding accounts

If you have different roles when using Service Desk, or two persons are working on the same computer, you need to define multiple accounts. 

You can add a new client account at any time using the procedure described here. However, if the client is started after a new installation, or after an upgrade, but no account has been created the Connection Wizard is started automatically, see the link to the topic Creating Server Connections below. 

To add accounts:

  1. Click Start in the taskbar.
  2. Point to Programs, and then point to hp OpenView Service Desk 4.5.
  3. Select the Client submenu.
  4. Choose Client Accounts.
  5. In the Accounts dialog box, click Add.  
  6. The Properties dialog box is displayed. 
  7. Enter a name for the account in the Friendly Name field, this is the name that will be displayed in the client accounts dialog box.
  8. Enter an Account name and Password, these will be used by the system to log the account into Service Desk.
  9. In the Server name field, enter the name of the Service Desk application server the client account should connect to. If the server's port number has been changed from the default of 30999, the new port number must be inserted after the server name with the syntax, myappserver:12345.
  10. To test the connection to the server, click the Test Connection button. A message is displayed confirming that the connection was made.
