Contents

Field Description
Connection Name Use this field to enter a name for the new database connection.
wInsight Connection Name Use this field to select a wInsight database.
wInsight doesn’t require a login Select this option to enable users to connect to wInsight as the administrator without entering a user ID and password.
Use wInsight O/S authentication Select this option to enable Cobra to use operating system authentication of wInsight when logging on to the application.
Note: In an n-tier mode, the direct transfer occurs on the server and not on the client machine. This means that the user logged on to the server is different from the user logged on to the client machine. 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: Use this field to enter the wInsight user ID.
  • Password: Use this field to enter the wInsight password.
