Federation Manager Guide › User Directory Connections for Authentication › ODBC Directory Connection

ODBC Directory Connection

You can configure a directory connection to an existing ODBC user store (SQL or Oracle) so Federation Manager can use it for authentication.

Note: If you plan to connect to an ODBC data source on Solaris, configure the wire protocol driver for the data source. See the wire protocol driver instructions for details.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the User Directory tab.

   The View User Directories dialog displays.

2. Click Connect to ODBC in the User Directory List section.

   The Connect to ODBC dialog displays.

3. Configure the settings in this dialog. Parameters marked by red dots are required.

   Note: Click Help for a description of fields, controls, and their respective requirements.

4. Click Failover if you want to set up additional ODBC directories for redundancy.
5. Click Test Connection to validate the connection.
6. Click Save.

   If your settings are valid, you are redirected to the View User Directories dialog.

The connection to the ODBC directory is configured.
