Database Administration

Configures basic Database Administration. The following options are available:

Current Data Source

Data Source: Displays the current DSN (Data Source Name).

ODBC Driver: Displays the ODBC driver currently in use. Note: ODBC is configured from the ODBC control panel.

User Name: If you have set up your database to require a User Name-Password combination, type the User Name here.

Password: If you have set up your database to require a User Name-Password combination, type the Password here.

New DSN: Launch the Database Wizard to create a new data source, or to change the data source that Internet Scanner uses (helpful when you are maintaining multiple databases). Warning: When you initialize this option, all information in the database, including vulnerability information and service information is cleared and will need to be reloaded. Use this option at your own risk.

Maintain: Opens the Maintain Database dialog box used to change settings in existing data sources. This operation can only be performed when no sessions are open.

View Tables: Click this button to open the View Tables dialog box. For more information, see View Tables.
