Instant Messenger User Database

The Setup Type screen to select a user database for authenticating Instant Messenger Users will appear. The following options are:

• Ipswitch Instant Messaging Server - If Ipswitch Instant Messaging Server is selected, user IDs and passwords for IM accounts are stored and authenticated from the Ipswitch Instant Messaging database (in the registry).
• Windows NT User Database - If you select Windows NT User Database, Instant Messaging Server creates a user IM account for each user listed in the Windows NT Database user IDs and passwords for IM accounts are stored and authenticated from the Windows NT Database.

  Note: With this option, you cannot add or delete users using IMail Server. NT User Manager must be used to add or delete users.

• IMail Server (Default selection) - Stores and authenticates all user IDs and passwords for IM accounts in the IMail Server database (in the registry).

Note: It is recommended that the IMail User Database be selected for user authentication.
