47 The user can select one of the pre-defined hosts or type a new hostname or IP address into the
48 Server hostname field. If the database name is already known, it can be entered directly in the
49 text field. If the database name is not known, a list of LTPDA repositories available on that
50 particular host can be retrieved by clicking on the 'Get DBs' button. If the user has not already
51 authenticated with the host, a login dialog will be presented prompting the user for a username
52 and password. If authentication is successful, the drop-down menu to the left of the database name
53 text entry field will be filled with the names of the available repositories.
54 </p>
55 <p>
56 The user can then select a repository and connect to it by clicking the 'Connect' button. If the
57 user has permissions to connect to that particular repository, the repository GUI will hold a
58 database connection object for use on the other panels of the GUI.
