The following table describes the Informix 7 or 9 (with client) database parameters available for configuring system DSNs, as they appear on the Sun Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console New Data Source Name and Edit Data Source Name pages. For more information, see "Configuring Data Source Names (DSNs)" in this chapter. For Informix Parameters (without Client), see below.
Note
This driver is not installed with Sun Chili!Soft ASP for Linux. Parameters for the Informix driver that is installed with Sun Chili!Soft ASP for Linux are listed below in Informix Parameters (without Client).
|
Parameter |
Explanation |
|
DSN* |
This is the name of the data source name (DSN) you are configuring. |
|
Description |
This field provides a description of the DSN to help distinguish it from others. |
|
Database type* |
This indicates for which type of database you are configuring this DSN (Informix). |
|
Driver* |
On the New Data Source Name page, this is the name of the ODBC driver installed for the type of database selected in the Database type box (Informix). It is a nonconfigurable field. On the Edit Data Source Name page, this is the absolute path name of the ODBC driver specified for this DSN. It is a configurable field. |
|
ServerName* |
This is the name of the database server. |
|
HostName* |
This is the name of the computer on which the Informix server resides. |
|
Database* |
Because there can be multiple installations of a database running on one computer, each database is given its own name. This parameter indicates the name of the database for which you are configuring this DSN. |
|
LogonID |
This is the username required for accessing the database. If the username is not provided when configuring a system DSN, every connection string using this DSN must include the username. Important Security Note: To prevent access to a database by unauthorized users in shared Web hosting environments, it is recommended that the username and password be provided in each connection string, rather than in the system DSN. |
|
Password |
This is the password required for accessing the database. If the password is not provided when configuring a system DSN, every connection string using this DSN must include the password. Important Security Note: To prevent access to a database by unauthorized users in shared Web hosting environments, it is recommended that the username and password be provided in each connection string, rather than in the system DSN. |
* Required parameters
