Configuring CLC Workbench connections

To log into a CLC Server from a CLC Workbench, the server name and port, as well as a username and password need to be configured in the Workbench. This can be done directly using a configuration dialog in the Workbench, or by providing a settings file with the connection details. The latter can be useful for deploying server connection details to multiple Workbench installations.

Configuring the server connection using the CLC Server Connection dialog is described at https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=CLC_Server_connection.html.

Configuring server connection information using a property file is described at https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/workbenchdeployment/current/index.php?manual=Connecting_CLC_Server.html.
