Database Discovery Task Wizard - Data Source Name

Use the Data Source Name page of the database discovery task wizard to define how Forcepoint DLP connects to the database.

Steps

  1. Select the Data source name for the database that you want to scan.
    • If the database does not yet have a DSN, create one, or ask the database administrator to do so. See Creating a Data Source Name (DSN) in Windows.
    • For a list of supported databases and field types, see Connecting to data sources.
    • Click refresh to refresh the list.

    The DSN must be defined with the same user account as the crawler selected on the previous page of the wizard.

  2. Under Database Credentials, do one of the following:
    • Select Use data source credentials to use the Forcepoint DLP service account to access the database. (This is the local administrator account defined during Forcepoint DLP installation.)

      Some databases allow NT authentication to verify the login ID, so be sure the crawler’s credential has permission to access the database.

      Microsoft SQL Server allows you to use NT authentication or SQL Server authentication. For SQL Sever authentication, select Use the following credentials instead.

    • Select Use the following credentials to enter credentials defined in the database itself, such as the sa account. (Do not enter the network credentials.)
      1. Enter the User name an account with “read” privileges to the database.
      2. Enter the Password for this account.
      3. Optionally, enter the Domain for account. If your database is using Windows authentication, include the domain name.
  3. Click Next, then continue with Database Discovery Task Wizard - Scheduler.
