o“ConnectionStr”: Refers to any other ADO-compatible database. Users must explicitly construct their own ADO connection string for this sort of data source connection (see “Editing a Data Source,” below).

The status of the data source reflects whether or not the Account Reset Console can currently communicate with the data source. The Account Reset Console will not allow you to configure a critical component with a data source that is not functioning.

Working data sources are tagged with a green check, nonfunctional data sources with a red X.

How the Account Reset Console tests data sources

The Account Reset Console tests data source access by attempting to use a series of SQL statements to drop, create, write to, and read from a table named “test_table”. If the data source configuration permissions do not allow table creation or destruction, this series of commands will fail, and the data source will be tagged as nonfunctional.

Adding a Data Source

The Account Reset Console allows you to add a new data source by simply entering a name for the new source and clicking “Add New Data Source”.

When you click “Add New Data Source”, a new, unconfigured data source will be added to the Account Reset Console. You will see that the new data source is not functional. To make the data source functional, you will need to configure it by clicking the “Edit” link next to it.

Once you add a new data source, you cannot change the name of that data source.

Editing a Data Source

Clicking on the “[Edit]” link next to any data source will allow you to modify the data source’s name and characteristics. Each type of data source has its own characteristics to change.

When you have finished updating the data source’s configuration, click “Save Data Source Settings” to save the data source. This will update the data source and allow you to see whether or not the new settings are working.

When you have finished working with a data source, click “Return to Data Sources” to return to the main Data Sources page.
