Re: informix username and password

Informix uses operating system usernames/passwords. You'll have to talk to your Solaris administrator, or whoever setup the users on that Solaris box. These would be the same username/passwords you can use to telnet to that box with... This is still valid if you are client/server, connecting from a client machine (perhaps a Windows PC) using setnet32. The username/password specified in setnet32 is the Solaris box username/password in your case... Within Informix, database and table access rights are granted to valid Solaris users. These rights are, of course, stored within Informix. If you figure out the valid Solaris username/password but still get error messages in dbaccess (for example) such as "cannot connect" etc., then your next problem to solve is likely to be what the database access rights are/should be (assuming Informix installation was correct/successful)...
