Log into a TeamForge Lab Management system

You can log into any machine that is assigned to a project you are a member of and that you have the requisite permissions for.

For security reasons, all TeamForge Lab Management systems are on a private network, inaccessible from anywhere outside of CollabNet. To access these systems, you must tunnel through the TeamForge Lab Management Manager.

If you need access to a system that belongs to a project you are not a member of, you have two options:

Ask to join the project, or to get permission within that project to access TeamForge Lab Management hosts.
Ask the owner of the system, or a project/domain administrator, to create an account for you on the machine.
Note: This may violate your organization's security policy, so check with your site administrator before creating any accounts. If the account is temporary, you will be responsible for removing it.
