7. Type the Actian Vector authentication information (User name, Password) for the authorized user for this Actian Vector database. If you do not know this information, see your Actian Vector system manager.

   Information note

    

   • If you are using the Advanced tab to create a custom string, make sure to include the User Name property. A Password can also be included but is not required. See Setting advanced connection properties for more information.

   • This information is case sensitive.
   • If you want to set custom properties for this database, see Setting advanced connection properties.

   • To determine if you are connected to the database you want to use or if the connection information you entered is correct, click Test Connection.

     If the connection is successful a message in green is displayed. If the connection fails, an error message is displayed at the bottom of the dialog box.

     To view the log entry if the connection fails, click View Log. The server log is displayed with the information for the connection failure. Note that this button is not available unless the test connection fails.
