Installing PerleVIEW on your Server

SQL Connection Parameters

If this is a new SQL connection, PerleVIEW will only require you to configure the SQL Server Name

and the Database User.

If you are using a existing SQL Server, then the following screen will appear.

Click on the

Yes button

after you have completed the fields.

SQL Server The Server Name consists of two parts separated by a backslash (\). The first

part of the name is the hostname or IP address. The second part of the Server

Name is the SQL Instance Name. If during installation PerleVIEW installs

the SQL server for you, then by default, PerleVIEW uses

localhost\SQLEXPRESS as the Server Name. However, if SQL Server is

already installed on this server then you must provide the server name

information here.

User If you are using Windows Authentication Mode, type in the Windows user

name (FQDN if required) as defined within your Windows Server Users

environment. If you selected SQL Authentication mode you will need to

provide the user name you configured for this user in the SQL Server

configuration. If the SQL Server does not have a login account set for this

user, authentication will fail and the user will receive an error message.

Password If you are using Windows Authentication Mode, type in the Windows

password as defined within your Windows Server environment. If you

selected SQL Authentication mode you will need to provide the password

you configured for this user in the SQL server configuration.

Authentication By default, PerleVIEW will install “Use Windows Authentication Mode”.

Use the SQL Authentication method if on installation of your SQL server

software, you selected mixed mode or SQL server authentication.

Values: Windows Authentication

SQL Authentication

Default: Windows Authentication
