Logging in to an IJC Schema

Before you can use an IJC Schema that you have in your project you must login (or connect) to it. A disconnected Schema is signified by the disconnected icon . You login by double clicking the disconnected icon, or right clicking on it and choosing 'Connect...'.

You can disconnect from a Schema by right clicking in its node and choosing 'Close connection...'. Some operations, such as editing the connection settings and deleting the Schema can only be performed when it is disconnected.

The login process for an IJC schema depends on the security settings that are in place for that schema. For local databases that have the default security the login process is completely transparent and you are logged in full full administrative privileges. If different security settings are in place then the login process will change and you may see various dialogs to define the log in criteria. These can include:

Database connection criteria: The database connection criteria. The username and/or password can be stored, but if they are not then you will be prompted during the login process.
Encryption password: If the connection details are encrypted then you will need the password to decrypt them.
The Instant JChem login criteria: The username and/or password can be stored, but if they are not then you will be prompted during the login process.
Single user mode switch: To make 'structural' changes to the database you need to be logged in to the database in single user mode. If you have sufficient privileges then you will be prompted for whether you want to connect in single user mode. If you do you will prevent other users from connecting whilst you are connected.
Errors!: Any errors that occur during the process, such as the database not being available or a username and password being incorrect are reported to the user, with the ability to correct the error if appropriate.
