Using the ODBC Client : Configuring Data Sources for the ODBC Client on Windows : ODBC Connection Dialogs : Stage 3: Data Source Logon
 

Stage 3: Data Source Logon

The last stage of the connection process involves logging on the data source. The dialog boxes that appear depend on the data source logon method configured for the OpenAccess SDK service:
When DataSourceLogonMethod=OSIntegrated, no dialog boxes appear.
When DataSourceLogonMethod=DBMSLogon(UID,PWD) or DataSourceLogonMethod=DBMSLogon(DBUID,DBPWD), a data source-specific user name and password are required and the Logon to Data Source dialog box appears.
Provide the following information; then, click OK.
Data Source User Name: Type the database logon ID.
Data Source Password: Type the database password.
Data Source Catalog: Type the name of the data source to which you want to connect. This field is disabled when the data store does not recognize the concept of databases.
Custom Properties: Type a custom property and value specific to your data source. The ODBC Client passes the value to the IP layer. You can enter up to 16383 characters.
For more information about configuring data store logon methods, refer to the OpenAccess SDK Administrator’s Guide.
