Options

Field	Description
Host	The name of the machine or domain containing the data source. This host must be accessible from the box where Monarch Data Prep Studio is installed.
Port	Port Number required to access the data source.
User Name	A valid User Name required to log-on to the host.
Password	A valid Password required to log-on to the data source. This password must match the User ID above.
Authentication Type	Select one of the following: Enterprise authentication Use the system default Enterprise Authentication if you prefer to create distinct accounts and groups for use with BusinessObjects Enterprise, or if you have not already set up a hierarchy of users and groups in a Windows NT user database, an LDAP directory server, or a Windows AD server. LDAP authentication If you set up an LDAP directory server, you can use existing LDAP user accounts and groups in BusinessObjects Enterprise. When you map LDAP accounts to BusinessObjects Enterprise, users are able to access BusinessObjects Enterprise applications with their LDAP user name and password. This eliminates the need to recreate individual user and group accounts within BusinessObjects Enterprise. Windows AD authentication If you are working in a Windows 2000 environment, you can use existing AD user accounts and groups in BusinessObjects Enterprise. When you map AD accounts to BusinessObjects Enterprise, users are able to log on to BusinessObjects Enterprise applications with their AD user name and password. This eliminates the need to recreate individual user and group accounts within BusinessObjects Enterprise. SAPR3 Use SAP R/3 Authentication.
Request Timeout	Amount of time the application will wait for a response from the Server before declaring a timeout error.
Connect	Click to connect to the host using the log-in information specified in this dialog.
