Element	Description
Local Cache Path	Specify a different location for the Local Cache, or reset it to the default location. You could specify a different location if, for example, the drive containing the default location (typically the C: drive) is low on storage space. Tip: You cannot change the location of the Local Cache while a process app is open.
Repository Connection Settings	Specify whether you want to work online or offline. If you select Work Online, enter the computer name and port for the SBM Server, and the user name and password required to access it. The default installation port is 8085. By default, a deployment from SBM Composer times out if it takes more than two minutes. If you want to change the number of minutes, type or select a number from the Timeout (in minutes) combo box. The maximum number of minutes is 99. Note: Your current connection information is displayed at the bottom right corner of the SBM Composer window. Tip: You cannot connect to a different repository while a process app is open.
Use Secure Connection	Specify whether a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection to the repository should be used. Important: The Client certificate drop-down list appears if SBM Composer is required to use client certificate authentication with SBM Application Repository. Select the client certificate that your administrator has prepared for you.
Advanced Security Setup	Use the options in the Advanced Security Setup dialog box to set up client certificate authentication between SBM Composer and SBM or to set up Smart Card authentication for SBM Composer. You must work with your SBM Composer to complete either setup. Administrators can refer to "Configuring Client Certificate Authentication" or "Using Smart Card Authentication with SBM Composer" in the SBM Installation and Configuration Guide for help.
Use Internal URL	Select this check box if SBM Composer is on the same side of the firewall as SBM Application Repository.
Test Connection	Confirm that the repository can be reached with the information you provided.
