When you attach a repository, you are telling the Laserfiche Client where to find the repository you want to access. In most cases, this should not be necessary, as by default the repository will broadcast across your network and the Client can automatically locate it. However, in some cases, depending on your configuration, you may need to attach it manually.
Attaching a repository only affects the repository list for the Laserfiche Windows client on the computer on which you perform the attach; it will not affect any other Laserfiche Client installations. If you want to attach the repository for the Laserfiche Windows client on multiple computers, you will need to perform the attach on each relevant computer.
To attach a repository
- On the Start Page, click the Attach button.
- The Attach Repository dialog box will open
- Type the name of the Laserfiche server, which is currently svm-lfrepo-01

- Once you select the repository and select the Attach button, the following screen will pop-up. You will select the 'Windows authentication' and then select OK.
- To access the repository once you have added it to the available repositories list, verify that the 'Sign in using' shows 'Windows Authentication' Then double click on the repository.
