Unable to create project connecting using URL of website

Symptom

Resolution

These errors occur when your Project client cannot access your Administration site. If you attempt to use "cdm" followed by your site ID as the URL to connect, it will produce these errors because that is your public facing website, not your Administration site. Please use "server" followed by your Site ID. (Ex. https://server<your site ID>.contentdm.oclc.org ) instead. 

If correcting the URL doesn't work, verify that the credentials you are using are correct. These should match the credentials you've set up in WorldCat.org.  Finally, if neither of the other two work, uninstalling and reinstalling the Project client has been known to fix this as well.

If problems persist, contact OCLC Support with your CONTENTdm site ID, the error message, and the steps you are taking.
