Some ODBC applications display a logon dialog box when you are connecting to a data source. In these cases, the data source name has already been specified.
In this dialog box, provide the following information:
1. Type the name of the database you want to access, or, on Windows, select the name from the Database Name drop-down list.
On Windows, the names on the list are determined by the status of the Get DB List From Informix check box on the Advanced tab of the ODBC Informix driver Setup dialog box. If the check box is selected, the names displayed are returned from the Informix server. If cleared, the names displayed are returned from the user-entered list, which you specify in the Database List field on the Connection tab of the driver Setup dialog box.
2. Type the name of the host machine on which the Informix server resides.
3. If required, type your user name as specified on the Informix server.
4. If required, type your password.
5. On Windows, click Options to display the Informix Server Options dialog box, where you can change the Service Name, Server Name, and Protocol Type that you specified in the ODBC Informix Driver Setup dialog box. Click OK to save your changes.
6. Click OK to complete the logon and to update these values in the Registry.
