Database Settings in HPSIM4.2??

Hi,

I've recently upgraded to HPSIM 4.2 from CIM 7 SP2.3, and I'm trying to find the Database Settings option that was available on CIM 7. I need to know what account HPSIM uses for database access.

SIM uses only Windows NT authentication for database access.

Joel,

How do I know which Windows account SIM uses for database access? Is it using which ever account that was use to install SIM with?

Yes it uses the account that SIM was installed with.

If you look under 'services' in the Windows MMC, SIM should be running under a service account. This service account is what is used to access the SQL server.

I would agree that it would be nice for SIM to have some type of DB configuration page where it shows the account, server, and lets you change the settings as needed.
