Database Information

Information about the location of the individual databases. Only the items below are editable. The rest are for convenience.

Database Name

Enter the actual name of the database to be connected to. This could be GBAComm, GBACommPRD, etc...

Instance Name*

This is only for SQL Server or Oracle databases. Enter the name of the SQL Server or Oracle Server instance. Oracle also requires that you enter the Host Name and Port.

Desktop Gateway Login Information

This is information that governs how sensitive configuration information is stored and sent across the network. For more information about this go here (Database Connection Encryption Options, http://help.lucity.com/webhelp/v150/install/index.htm#25355.htm).

Active Directory Group for Gateway **

Only displayed if the Integrated Security for Desktop Gateway option is set to True. The user specifies the Active Directory group to be used for the Gateway Connection. If there is currently no login for this Group on the database Instance, one will be created and granted the necessary permissions. All Lucity users must log in to Windows using a Windows account that is part of this group.

Centrally Manage Desktop Gateway **

Indicates whether the unencrypted Gateway connection information should be stored in the Config folder of the Lucity share so that it can be accessed by all Lucity Desktop users. If this is set to False, then the Gateway information must be manually setup on either the workstation or in the Config folder to allow Desktop users to connect. Note that this is a global setting affecting all clients installed in a multi-client environment.

Integrated Security for Desktop Gateway **

Indicates whether the Gateway Login should use Integrated Security (i.e. the Windows Login of the current user). This allows the Gateway to use windows security settings to encrypt the data that it sends to SQL Server. If Centrally Manage Desktop Gateway is set to True, it is recommended to use Integrated Security because the connection information is stored in an unencrypted file. This is defaulted to True for SQL Server databases and False for Oracle databases as Oracle requires additional steps to allow for Integrated Security that must be performed by the user's IT department.

General Login Information
