Under, Database type group box, select the type of database that you are working in, and then, under Connection settings, type the appropriate database parameters in the boxes to retrieve the parameters from a different Admin schema.
On Oracle or SQL Server, the System Administrator can prevent unauthorized connections
to the Admin schema by encrypting the Admin schema password using the Administration
module option. When encrypting the password, the software removes the Admin schema logon name and
password from the Intools.ini file and stores this data in the database. Therefore, if the password is encrypted, you cannot retrieve it automatically from
the Intools.ini file but must enter it manually. See Encrypt the Admin Schema Logon Password in the Administration help.
