The second stage of the connection process involves authentication of the OpenAccess SDK Client to the OpenAccess SDK Server. The dialog boxes that appear depend on how authentication is configured for the OpenAccess SDK Server.
• When ServiceAuthMethods=anonymous or ServiceAuthMethods=integrated_nt, no dialog boxes appear.
• When ServiceAuthMethods=OSLogon(HUID,HPWD) or ServiceAuthMethods=OSLogon(UID,PWD), the Logon to Service dialog box appears.
Provide the following information; then, click OK.
Host User Name: Type the host user name.
Note: When connecting to a Windows server, you must prefix the host user name with a server name, if authenticating to a local server, or a domain name (for example, SALES\DJONES). If the server name or domain name is omitted, the OpenAccess SDK Server will attempt to authenticate the user ID and password with the database account defined for the machine on which the OpenAccess SDK Server is running. If this validation fails, the OpenAccess SDK Server will attempt to authenticate the user ID and password with the database account defined for the domain of the machine on which the OpenAccess SDK Server is running.
Host Password: Type the host password.
• When ServiceAuthMethods=OSLogon(HUID,HPWD,NPWD) or ServiceAuthMethods=OSLogon(UID,PWD,NPWD) and the password is expired, the Password expired. Please specify new password dialog box appears.
Note: If the password is not expired, the Logon to Service dialog box appears, prompting only for the host user name and host password.
Provide the following information; then, click OK.
Host User Name: Type the host user name.
Note: When connecting to a Windows server, you must prefix the host user name with a server name, if authenticating to a local server, or a domain name (for example, SALES\DJONES). If the server name or domain name is omitted, the OpenAccess SDK Server will attempt to authenticate the user ID and password with the database account defined for the machine on which the OpenAccess SDK Server is running. If this validation fails, the OpenAccess SDK Server will attempt to authenticate the user ID and password with the database account defined for the domain of the machine on which the OpenAccess SDK Server is running.
Host Password: Type the host password.
New Password: Type the new password to be used by the OpenAccess password change mechanism.
Confirm Password: Type the new password again to confirm it.
