You start a session on a BSCW server by

• opening the URL


http://<your.bscw.server>/bscw/bscw.cgi/

BSCW will display your home folder, which contains your folders and the workspaces you are a member of.

• accessing an object in one of your folders or workspaces directly, using a URL, e. g. from your list of "bookmarks" or "favorites".

For login and identification, you have to submit your user name and your password.

BSCW gives access to your home folder after verification.
If you have accessed an object in a workspace directly by specifying a URL, BSCW will immediately take you to the contents of this object. For instance, if somebody sends you the URL of a folder, you will see this folder page immediately on logging in (provided you have suitable access rights).
