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, you must configure the wire protocol driver for the data source. See the wire protocol driver instructions for details.

To configure an ODBC directory connection

1. Click the User Directory tab.

   The View User Directories dialog displays.

2. Click Connect to ODBC in the User Directory List group box.

   The Connect to ODBC dialog displays.

3. Configure the settings in this dialog. Required parameters are marked by red dots.

   Note: You can 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 Save.

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

The connection to the ODBC directory is configured.
