5. Map the databases
6. Apply any remaining settings (these last 3 steps configure that IM.ini file)

8. Login with your Appeon Account if you haven't yet.

Now to the Step by Step:

   • Inside of the "Wartburg RemoteApps (RADC)" folder, click on the InfoMaker IDE Icon
     
   • You may be prompted to login. If you do, follow these steps:
     • Click "Connect" 
     • Use your Wartburg credentials with a "Wartburg\" in front of your username, then click "OK"
     • If you see a message for "The identity of the remote computer cannot be verified. Do you want to connect anyway?" Click Yes. You may also check the checkbox below so it doesn't ask you again
