Click the Connection button on the Database tab of the Log Server Configuration Utility to select the Log Database to use for storing incoming Internet access information.

The Log Database connection is configured automatically during installation, but can be changed if you need to log to a different database. (The database must already exist to establish a connection.)

1.	In the Select Data Source dialog box, select the Machine Data Source tab.

2.	Select the Data Source Name corresponding to the database that you want to use for logging.

3.	Click OK. The SQL Server Logon dialog box is displayed.

4.	If the Use Trusted Connection option is available, make sure it is set properly for your environment. Contact your Database Administrator for assistance.

Note  If you use a trusted connection for communications with SQL Server, you may need to configure several Websense Web Security components with the trusted user name and password. See your installation materials for details.

5.	Enter the Logon ID and Password established when the database was created. Usually this is the same logon ID and password entered during Log Server installation and database creation.

6.	Stop and restart Log Server via the Connection tab after making this and any other changes in the Log Server Configuration Utility.
