# Workstation

## Accessing Flopsar Environment

When you start the workstation, a login window should appear.

![Login Window](https://4133209095-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LpN7wUQHQSd7nz09yOW%2F-MTV6uqspj_bUWKLKqCG%2F-MTV8CZJXq99zAwPb96V%2Flogon4.png?alt=media\&token=23cbcaee-d9e7-4919-ba30-9ebdd445a422)

You must fill out the login form to log in. The required fields are:

* **CONNECTION ID**

  User-defined connection identifier.
* **SERVER ADDRESS**

  Server socket address in the form `host:port`. If you use a default value `9443` for the port, then you can specify only an IP address in this field. The port will be added automatically.
* **USERNAME**

  A username.
* **PASSWORD**

  User's password.

If you run the workstation for the first time, the **CONNECTION ID** combo box is empty. 

{% hint style="success" %}
Default credentials are: the username is **admin** and the password is **flopsar**.
{% endhint %}

## Settings

The workstation stores its settings locally, on the machine it runs on. It makes use of [Java Preferences API](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/preferences/) to store its configuration. The physical location of the settings depends on the platform the workstation runs on. When you exit the application, it stores its current settings.

### General

![General Settings](https://4133209095-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LpN7wUQHQSd7nz09yOW%2F-MTWTfHKfCH7-hD1gCjV%2F-MTWTsjTwUtizJ-PcwyA%2Fws_settings.png?alt=media\&token=fbedb4ad-27b6-4f95-ae8c-cf3daf864145)

By default, all the workstation logs are stored in a user home directory. This can be changed in the preferences window above, where you can set both the logger level and the location of the logs. 

You can also check if there is a new Flopsar version available. In order to check it, just press the **Check now** button. If you select **Check automatically**, then whenever you start the workstation, it will check for updates automatically.

### Connections

Your server connection information is also stored in the settings. You can either edit or delete these connections in the preferences window below.
