There is a password tag to the user and it is hard coded onto the application. Changing the password on Enterprise Manager will result in the app not being able to connect to the DB. I need to restrict this user to only login through the app and not anywhere else ie. Enterprise Manager or WindowsIs there anyway this can be done? Please advise.Windows 2000 Server w/SP3SQL2000 Server w/SP3" |
