When we want to checkout a Solution we can enter a Server address, User and Password.
When I change the Server address from localhost to another ip address I get a thread error after a while??
What is the use of the Server address, User and Password. I have checked the documentation but the best information about the use of it is in the user guide but that is more workflow than explaining anything:
Enter a Server address
(localhost, IP address, or complete path).
Enter a User name and Password
(if applicable).
Press the Next button to continue.
With the checkout dialog you can connect to a repository for checking out a solution and/or modules.
When you enter ‘localhost’ as server the built-in team server will be used.
If you want to connect to another team server (typically when multiple developers work on the same solution) you have to enter its host name or address (optionally postfixed with port)
In that case the user/password must be a valid servoy user in that repository.
