Setting Database Options

Select the database you want to store user accounts in:

• NT/AD User Database. IMail Server creates a user mail account for each user listed in the Windows NT Database, or Active Directory.

Note: Use the Windows NT User Manager to add or delete users. You cannot add or delete users using IMail Administrator.

• IMail User Database. User IDs and passwords for mail accounts are stored in a database on the IMail Server (in the registry).
• External Database (ODBC Compliant). IMail uses an external database to register and authenticate users. Users that you add and delete using IMail will be added to and deleted from that external database and vice versa.

System DSN

If you select External Database, you must specify the ODBC System Data Source Name (DSN ) for the database where the user information is stored. IMAILSECDB is the default name that the IMail ODBC link uses.
