Connect by Logging In

To connect by logging in:

Note:    It is recommended to use WMTS since it is a faster and more efficient way of distributing data than WMS because the tile sets are pre-generated.

3.      Open the Portal Manager, and click Add Portal. The Add Portal dialog box is displayed.
