Contents

Field Description

wInsight Connection Name Select a wInsight database.
wInsight doesn’t require a login Select this option to allow users to connect to wInsight as the administrator without entering a user ID and password.
Use wInsight O/S authentication

Select this option to allow Cobra to use wInsight’s operating system authentication when logging on to wInsight.

Note: In an n-tier mode, the direct transfer occurs on the server and not on the client computer. This means that the user logged on to the server is different from the user logged on to the client computer. The credentials (or user ID) used for Windows Authentication to the database are taken from the Windows account of the server service (the windows user ID on the application server — not the user logging into Cobra).
Attention: To set up or check your connection, refer to KB Article # 93859 in the Knowledge Center of the Deltek Support Center.
Specify your wInsight User ID and Password

Select this option to enable the following fields:

  • User ID — Enter the wInsight user ID.
  • Password — Enter the wInsight password.
