Overview

In this lesson we will setup a user account step by step as precondition to start developing Wayfast Apps.

Step 1 - User Registration

For user registration, let’s send an email to it.support@asignet.com. Our Asignet IT Support team will generate the new user and consequently our own email address account. This will be our access to communicate with the team, share information and files through Microsoft Teams.

Now we will need VPN to get proper access on the different environments where Wayfast is developed.

Asignet IT Support team will send a set of configuration files including user keys to setup our VPN Client.

You can check what is the best version for your operating system in this link: OpenVPN Connect - Client Software For Windows | OpenVPN

Once the installation is done and configurations were applied to the VPN Client, we can login to the VPN:

At this point, we have the credentials and authentication access to the development environments.

In order to access Wayfast, make sure Wayfast Infrastructure team created your Wayfast Account. They will require your email and provide a password as explained in the Wayfast Project Access lesson.

Step 2 - Virtual Machine

Wayfast allows to create and manage databases as part of our development project. Databases are accessed and operated through a Virtual Machines to enforce security.

Asignet IT Support team will assign you a virtual machine to work with SQL Management Server Studio. Normally we connect to the workstation through Remote Desktop Control in Windows. There are other clients for Mac or Linux.

In this example our new virtual machine is named “DS23”, so we are going to fill the “Computer” field with the identification “USDC01DS23”. Make sure to include the domain SBIDOM when logging in. If your user is johndoe, you should type “SBIDOM\johndoe” in the “Username” field.

Enter the same credentials that we put in the setup account and connect.

Keep in mind that we always have to login on the VPN logging into the VM.

Step 3 - SQL Server Management Studio

Our new virtual machine comes with SQL Server Management Studio installed so we can interact with our database. You can check with Wayfast Technical Support what is the development server assigned to you.

You can login using Windows Authentication.

If you observe any error message while connecting please contact it.support@asignet.com.

How to get access to a database? Remember Wayfast grants you access to your database when you activate a Requirement. In order to an Database Instance and a Database must be associated to your project. You can find more details about this here.

Step 4 - Log in to Wayfast

Once our account has been provisioned and we confirm we have all the previous tools set and we have been granted access to Wayfast we are ready to log into Wayfast.

Use your browser to navigate the development URL. A login prompt will be displayed. As Wayfast uses Active Directory Single Sign-On, once you enter you AD credentials you will be presented with Wayfast IDE.

It should look like this:

If you have access to more than one app (not only Wayfast IDE) you will se the application selector:

In case you have problems to login through the different environments, please send an email to it.support@asignet.com.

Recap

In this lesson we reviewed the necessary tools and software required to use Wayfast and what to do in case of issues. Now that we are ready let’s start our Wayfast journey with the Hello World lesson!
