LOGGING IN WHEN THE CLIENT IS ALREADY RUNNING
If the client is already running on the workstation you want to log in from, you can log in without having to shut down and re-start the client.
The File menu’s Log In As New User option allows you to connect to the same server(s) as the previous user. The previous user is logged out when
you log in.
NOTE:
The Log In As New User option logs you in to the same server(s) as the previous user. To log in to different servers, you must shut down
the client, then start it as described in
Logging In When the Client Is Not Already Running.
1. Click File > Log In As New User, or click the Main window and press Ctrl-U. If the current workspace has changed, you are asked whether
you want to save the changes. Click Yes to save the changes, or No to discard them. The Client Login dialog box opens.
