- Altru Domain
- Altru Root Directory
- Altru Username

Login into your Altru Instance. When you log in for the first time you are going to copy the URL on your browser. Make sure you don’t click on anything in Altru besides the URL link.
You see get a link similar to the one below.
Grab the link and paste it into your favorite text editor. We are going to break up the link into parts to be able to connect into Altru.

Step 3: Test your credentials to verify they are valid with Altru
Once you have all the details ready for your account click on the Save Credentials button to update your account with your new credentials.
Click on the Test Connection button to verify your credentials are valid.
You will now see a Valid Altru Credentials message letting you know that your credentials are valid and you are now ready to start using the application with Altru.
If you see the Invalid Altru Credentials message you will want to verify you have followed all the steps in this guide correctly. A typo or an invalid value could cause this message. Start back from the beginning and try again.
A common mistake is providing an account with an invalid role. Verify you created the account with the right information from step 1. If you are still facing problems make sure you reach out to support.
