Manage Server Connections dialog
This dialog can be used to create a new connection, validate and save the connection, change the current connection, or modify an existing connection.
The dialog is available from within the product or from the Login dialog, in each case by selecting System | Server | Manage.
Note: If the Local Login option has been selected on the Login dialog, the Manage Server Connections dialog will not allow you to change the details of the server connections, but will let you change the current connection to another server that has been previously connected to.
