Managing the database connection settings
A database connection is required for the Discovery Server to function. If there is no connection to the database, the Discovery Server is unavailable. The administrator can use the console to view or change the database connection settings.
To view or change the database connection settings
1. In the console tree, expand DeviceLock Content Security Server.
2. Under DeviceLock Content Security Server, select Server Options.
3. In the details pane, double-click any of these options: Connection type, SQL Server name, Database name, or SQL Server login. Alternatively, right-click an option, and then click Properties.
4. In the dialog box that appears, view or change the following connection settings:
•Database name - The name of the DeviceLock Content Security Server’s database.
•Connection type - Determines whether to use an ODBC driver or system data source to connect to the DeviceLock Content Security Server’s database server.
Further options depend upon the selected connection type.
•SQL Server name - The name of the database server (if using an ODBC driver).
Empty name indicates a database server running on the same computer as the DeviceLock Content Security Server.
•Windows authentication / SQL Server authentication - The authentication mode to use on SQL Server (for Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver).
•Data source name - The name of the system data source (if using a system data source).
•Login name, Password - Login and password to access the database (if using the SQL Server Authentication mode).
•Click Next, wait while the console completes the connection, and then click Finish.
For details on the database connection settings, see the
Database settings section in the DeviceLock Content Security Server installation instruction.
