Cyn.in open source groupware focuses on connecting employees quickly and easily. We show you how to set up a Cyn.in environment, exchange knowledge, collaborate on projects, and manage processes.

Software's primary task is to provide users with tools that enable them to perform typical tasks efficiently, getting more done in less time. To that end, Cyn.in [1] helps you improve communication and optimize the exchange of knowledge.

The secured URL (https ) is available on port 8003. The configuration wizard shows a login dialog for initial access, which accepts the default username/password admin /password .
