Server URL
The url of IQ Server
Username
This is the username your IQ Server Administrator has assigned you. In many cases this will simply be your single sign on credentials (e.g. LDAP), though it may also be a unique username. Again, your administrator will advise you of this login information.
Password
The password associated with the username above.
[Note]

You will be prompted for your Master Password (or to set up a Master Password) when saving the Preferences/Settings. This allows IDEA to store your IQ Server password securely. You will also be prompted for the Master Password when opening any project configured with IQ for IDEA from now on.

Once the IQ Server information is provided, click Connect to verify the connection to IQ Server. Next select an Application from the dropdown to run policy against.
