Installation & Setup User Guide
It is highly recommended that this password be changed. Although all the
machines in an Enterprise or Distributed ID system start out using the same
database password (MULTIMEDIA), the database password does not need to be
the same on all machines. How the database password is changed depends
whether the Login Driver is running on the same computer that the database is
on, and what options you choose to use. The SQL Server Desktop Engine,
Oracle, or SQL password and the password in the Login Driver must be the same
or you will not be able to log into any B.A.S.I.S. applications. SQL Server
Desktop Engine, Oracle, and SQL passwords case-insensitive, but the password
in the Login Driver is case-sensitive.
• If the Login Driver and the database are on the same computer, all you need
to do is change the Lenel account password using Database Setup. Database
Setup will change automatically change the password in the database
program and in the Login Driver.
• If the Login Driver and the database are on different computers, you have
two options: (For more information, please refer to step d on page 210.)
– Change the database password, and change the password in the Login
Driver manually later
– Change the database password in the Login Driver as well. If you
choose this option, be aware that the password will be sent over the
network as plain text.
