Microsoft SQL Server Databases require authorized users to be able to access the database. Any application that wishes to connect to a database must provide a valid internal user name and password to the database server.

By default, Omnify is configured to access databases through a single internal user. This user is not related to the Omnify users. This is simply a user known to the database server that has been granted access to the databases.

When your initial Omnify database is attached, there will be a default user (OmniwareUser) that will be granted access by the database server. The Omnify web applications will be configured (web.config) for this user as well.

You can set/modify the internal database user using the Omnify Server Wizard. To create/modify an internal database user, you can either select the Create Internal User option from the Operation Selection page, or select the Create Internal User link from the Navigation Pane.

The Create Internal Omnify User page will display all selected databases (from the Database Selection Page).



You will have 2 options when creating the internal user:



Option Description
Use default user/password Creates the default Omnify user (OmniwareUser) and password and assigns the users to the selected database
Use specified user name/password Creates the specified user name and password and assigns the users to the selected database

To create a user, select the desired option and then click the Create User button.



The status area will indicate the results.



Note: if you create a custom user, you will need to update the web.config to indicate the new user and password.
