Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference - Vasco

Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference ODBC Database
If you do want full Unicode support in the database, refer to the database vendor's
instructions. Normally, a database has to be created with Unicode storage from the start.
Depending upon the database type, some of the columns in the database need to be increased
in size, to handle multi-byte UTF-8 encoded data. The database documentation should indicate
whether VARCHAR columns are defined by number of characters or number of bytes.
3.2 Embedded Database
The embedded database option supplied with Digipass Plug-In for SBR uses PostgreSQL 8.1.
The database server is installed as a Service and a single database created. This database has
full Unicode support.
The full PostgreSQL install package is used, so the database administation tools and
documentation are available.
3.2.1 Service Account
A local Windows account called dppostgres is created on the installation machine. This account
is given privileges to log on as a service and locally. If installed on a domain controller, this
account will be a domain account. The privileges to log on locally may be removed manually
after installation if preferred, without preventing PostgreSQL from running.
Note
The dppostgres account is not automatically deleted upon uninstallation of
Digipass Plug-In for SBR.
The default password for dppostgres is p!ss&0rd. This can be changed using the standard
Windows or Active Directory user management interface. If you do this, make sure that the
Windows Service Control Manager is configured with the new password. The PostgreSQL
service is PostgreSQL Database Server 8.1.
If you have changed the password when you uninstall and reinstall the product, either delete
the dppostgres account or change its password back to the default password shown above
before re-installing. Otherwise, the installation will fail.
3.2.2 Database Administration Account
A single database administrator account called digipass is created when the embedded
database is installed, with password digipassword. It has full administration and access rights
to the database.
This account is used by the SBR Plug-In to connect to the database. If you use an SQL or
database administation tool to connect to the database, you can also use this account.
If you want to change the password, you can do this using the pgAdmin III utility. See 3.2.3
Database Administration below.
