Connecting to AX Server

Connect your AX Client installation to AX Server to access your organization’s Analytics Exchange audit data.

Authenticating

Analytics Exchange authentication can be configured to:

  • authenticate with your Windows username and password when you access Analytics Exchange applications
  • automatically grant you access to Analytics Exchange applications based on your Windows credentials through a process know as silent authentication

Tip

Ask your Analytics Exchange administrator how your organization's installation is configured.

  1. Start AX Client.
  2. If the Server page of the Options dialog box appears, enter the Server Address provided by your administrator and click OK.

    Use the server host name rather than the IP address:
