Authentication properties
You can use OLE DB Object Services to supply log-in information to IOS so that you can determine access to users of your application. For example, to limit the product lines your users can access, you could create an authentication string for this purpose.
This table shows the authentication properties.
| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Provider | Name (and version) of the provider. Specify "Lawson.LawOLEDBC" to specify whatever version is current. To specify a release, type, for example, "Lawson.LawOLEDBC.4". |
| Data Source | IOS server name. This can be a DNS name or an IP address. You must include the HTTP protocol and port on the server by appending a colon and port number to the server name. For example, "http://servername:80" specifies to connect to port 80 on the server. |
| User ID | Lawson user ID |
| Password | User's password |
| Location | Optional. Specifies a Lawson ERP application product line. |
| Prompt | Optional. Set this to "Complete" if you want the connector to display a login dialog box for the user of your application. |
