Specifying user Information

Each time QMF for Windows connects to a database server on your behalf, it must supply a user ID and password. The user ID and password specifies what database security options are in effect and what functions can be performed. You must supply the user ID and password.

You supply QMF for Windows with your user ID and password using the Set User Information window. QMF for Windows will automatically open this window the first time you connect to a database server. Subsequently, QMF for Windows may or may not request user ID and password on every connection to the database server depending on the options you have selected.

You can open the Set User Information window and specify a user ID and password at any time before making a connection to the database server.

There are some database servers that do not require a user ID and password. If a database server does not require a user ID and password, it must be configured as such by your QMF for Windows Administrator in the SDF. If the database server is configured to not require a user ID and password, you will not be prompted for user information.
