Getting started

In order to function, HVUI will need to connect to a Hex-Rays Vault server.

This guide assumes that such a server is running, accessible, and an account is available:

Connection attributes
Host vaultserver
Port 65433
User name joe
User password secret

Starting HVUI

The first time the user starts the application, credentials will need to be input:

Credentials

NOTE: Checking the checkbox at the bottom of the form, will cause HVUI to store credentials in the registry, password(s) will be stored in the OS's keychain.

If this is the first time a login is performed from this machine, the user will have to specify a directory where files will be locally stored:

Provide site information

This will a site (that is, a mapping of the server files on the local disk) for use on this computer.

After accepting the dialog, you will be presented with the main view:

Getting the latest revision

The widget now shows what files are available.

Notice the #0/1 suffixes: it means we currently have revision number 0 (i.e., no revision at all) of those files.

Let's sync those files to their latest revision, from the server:

Sync to latest

And the files are now up-to-date:
