SDF Server Details

The SDF Servers preferences window can be used to add and manage connections to an STK Data Federate.

Adding an SDF Connection

Click the button to create an SDF connection. When you create a connection, the SDF Server Details window is displayed; this window contains fields described in the following table:

URL	The location of the server.
Port	The port used to connect to the server.
Description	A description of the connection, if desired.
Authentication Credentials	Enter your username and password, and confirm the password, to allow STK to open the connection. Select Save Username and Password to store this information in STK.

Managing SDF Server Connections
