7. Type a name??”say, ProjectProfi le??”in the Account Name fi eld, and the URL
of the Project Server in the space provided. You may also choose Use Forms
authenticated account (as shown in Figure B.6) so that you can authenticate with

8. Start Microsoft Project 2007 from the Microsoft Offi ce program group. Based
on the authentication method you chose in the preceding step, you may be prompted
to provide your credentials (for the Forms authentication option). Provide the
domain username and password. An administrative task is involved in associating a
normal domain user with the Project Server (I will discuss this in more detail later
in this appendix). Upon successful authentication, you will fi nd a Ready message
at the bottom left of the Project Professional client. This denotes that a successful
connection has been established between the Project client and the Project Server.
