Configuring new Surround SCM installations

Before users can access Surround SCM, the administrator needs to make sure the Surround SCM Server is running and perform some configuration tasks to set up Surround SCM.

1. Make sure the Surround SCM Server is running.

2. Start the Surround SCM Client and configure a server connection.

During installation, an administrative user with full admin security rights is created. To log in as this user, enter Administrator as the username and leave the password field empty. You can also delete this user and add a new admin user. If you do not want to delete this user, you should add a password to prevent unauthorized users from logging into the admin account.

3. After connecting to the server, use the Surround SCM Client to create a mainline branch, add files, configure server options, and set up security groups.
