The Portal Login/Auto-Configure option within Vuforia Studio is designed to help Trial users  configure their Studio instance with their assigned Experience Service and ThingMarks.    Corporate networks may block communication to the Vuforia portal or the assigned Experience Service.  If you receive any of the below errors, follow our the resolution steps in our Knowledge Base article Vuforia Studio failed connection issues Auto Configuration failed and get message to   Check log for errors Error:   connect ETIMEDOUT <ip address> Error:   read ECONNRESET If a proxy is in use on the network, it must also be configured within Vuforia Studio as Studio does not  inherit browser proxy settings.

With release 1.9.1, pilot and free trial participants can auto-configure Vuforia Studio to make it easier to get up and running quickly.  The auto-configure process does the following:​ Configures the sample projects included with your Vuforia Studio installation so that when you publish those projects they are published to your experience service and can be viewed in Vuforia View using one of your ThingMarks Retrieves the Experience Service (ES) URL - can find at Project -> Configuration -> Info section. We are no longer sending the ES url through welcome email. Downloads your ThingMarks and makes them available on the My ThingMarks page inside Vuforia Studio so that you can view your ThingMarks and print them out In order to complete the auto-configuration process, users are first required to authenticate using their PTC Account credentials.  For participants in the Vuforia Studio Free Trial , this does not introduce any confusion since they use their PTC Account credentials for everything: accessing the Studio Portal, publishing experiences from Vuforia Studio, downloading experiences to Vuforia View and working in ThingWorx Composer.   However, for participants in the Vuforia Studio Pilot Program , this may introduce some confusion.  Unlike free trial participants, pilot participants have two sets of credentials: PTC Account credentials used to access the Studio Portal and Auto-Configure Vuforia Studio Experience Service credentials provided in their Pilot Program Welcome Email that are used to publish experiences from Vuforia Studio, view experiences in Vuforia View and access ThingWorx Composer The auto-configuration process requires users to authenticate using their PTC Account credentials.  Since the auto-configuration process occurs inside Vuforia Studio and pilot participants do not normally use their PTC Account credentials inside Vuforia Studio, this may cause some confusion.   Note   The users that received access to an experience service instance before February 17, 2017 is a participant in the pilot program Any user that received access to an experience service on or after February 17, 2017 is a participant in the free trial.
