05. If this is the first time the client and server have been accessed, the "system" user (super admin) will need to be setup. You will be prompted to setup the "system" user password & password recovery security questions. This process will be started after inputting the local LAN IP server address and pressing tab or clicking into another field.

06. For a "standard" login after the initial setup you will have to input the following:

Server address: Local LAN IP address or WAN IP / FQDN

Port No: HTTPS port of the IC Now Pro Server (by default 443)

Username / Password

The "Remember Password" checkbox allows the system to securely store your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you log in. The "Auto Login" checkbox enables the system to automatically log you in without requiring manual entry of your credentials each time you open the application.

There is also the option of logging in as a "Domain User" if you have synced the IC Now Pro server with an existing active directory user database.
