  3. Click on Venus Server and have the customer enter their credentials for their VCS account then click on Connect.
    Venus Credentials
  4. If you get a x.509 error, the credentials are wrong.

  6. Note: If not seeing the Content Studio launch after connecting, check behind the browser window.
