[signon]

Use the signon section of the dbridge.cfg file to enter information for signing on to the relational database and Databridge Server on the host.

The configuration file must include the Oracle database service name, as well as the userid/password that the Client needs to sign on to the Oracle database, where the Client control tables reside.

Parameter	Description
hostpasswd	Default: None Range: 17 alphanumeric characters Command-line option: -X Use the host password parameter to specify the password associated with Databridge Server on the host. This parameter must match exactly the KEY parameter defined in the Host Server control file. For example: DBServer KEY = "Secret" dbridge.cfg hostpasswd = Secret
password	Default: None Command-line option: -P Use the password parameter to specify the password associated with the user ID for the relational database. The password must be valid for the user ID or the connection to the relational database server will fail. Passwords are limited to 30 characters. If your password contains non alphanumeric characters other than the underscore, you must enclose the password in double quotes, as follows: password = "a$bb%"" NOTE:The password is always encoded in both text and binary versions of the client configuration file. For more information, see [Export or Import a Configuration File](NEED LINK) in the Databridge Client Administrator's Guide or see [Export the Client Configuration to a File](NEED LINK) in the Databridge Client Console Help. Passwords communicated between the Databridge Client and Databridge Server are not encoded.
user	Default: Login userid Command-line option: -u Use the user parameter to specify the user ID for the relational database. The user ID must have the appropriate resource privileges for the designated relational database, as explained in [Setting Up a User ID](NEED LINK) in the Databridge Installation Guide.
