Table 18 Preference Driver Settings

Setting	Description
Driver	Click the appropriate preference driver to use. Supported values are none (use system
	defaults and not save any user information), session (user preferences are saved
	using sessions and are only valid during this login), or sql (use a database to save
	preferences so they persist for a user between logins). The rest of the options are
	required only if you are using the sql driver.
Database type	Enter the type of database server you are using. The only supported setting is pgsql
	for a PostgreSQL database.
Host	Enter the hostname of the database server. This defaults to localhost.
Username	Enter the database user name to use to connect. Changing this entry will change only
	the IMP settings and not the database permissions.
Password	Enter the password for the user specified above. This will change only the IMP
	configuration and not that of the database.
Database name	Enter the name of the database containing the preference table.
Preference table	Enter the name of the table containing preference data.
