Hi,
I have a ColdFusion application that requires an ODBC driver that connects
to a Novell Server with Pervasive.SQL (formerly called Btrieve). When we
install ColdFusion on a Windows 2000 Server or Windows NT 4.0 box, we use
the Noell Gateway service to map the novell drives. I also follow all the
rules that Allaire recommends (changing the logon acccount for the
ColdFusion service to match a Novell account with administration rights, use
UNC mapping in the datasource and use the 8.3 standard for files and
directories names). Even if we follow all these steps, the real difference
is installing the Gateway services. This is what allows ColdFusion to run
ODBC commands without errors.
We had a new installation today that involves Windows 2000 Professional
(formerly Windows NT 4.0 Workstation) and a Novell 3.12 server. As you know,
the professional version doesn't come with the Novell Gateway Services. I
installed the regular novell client for windows 2000 and followed all the
steps that Allaire recommends. ColdFusion still doesn't verify the
datasource. If I use any other application (sqlconn32 or Microsoft Query)
the datasource connection works fine, which leads me to believe that this is
a security issue between the Novell Server and the ColdFusion service, but
again, the ColdFusion service is logging in with the user "administrator"
which I also created on the Novell server with full administration rights. I
even created another account called supervisor (which is the default
administrator account in Novell) on the 2000 professional server and
assigned it to the ColdFusion service. Still no luck.
I really would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem.
Thanks and Regards!
