I cannot connect to my server using any ID's other than Admin. How do I configure the userids/groups to be recognized? I've searched through all available documentation.

Users are controlled by the 'metaproject' that controls the Protege server.
The administration documentation about configuring the metaproject describes how to add new users.

When you make any changes to the metaproject:
  • First stop the Protege Server
  • Open the metaproject using the normal Protege client running on the server. By default, the metaproject will be in
    <Protege Install>/examples/server/metaproject.pprj
  • Add the new users that you require and set their passwords
  • Save the metaproject and close Protege.
  • Restart the Protege server
  • Your new user IDs will now be able to connect
I realise that there is an "Add New User" button on the login panel when trying to connect to the Protege server. There were some discussions about this button on the Protege support mailing lists but it does not currently allow you to add new users. I think the intention is that the behaviour of this button will be controlled by Server policies (again defined in the metaproject) but for now, new users should be added to the meta-project and the Protege server restarted so that it reads the new meta-project configuration.

Don't hesitate to post back if you need any further assistance adding your new users
