Cobra Login Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to enter your user credentials. Cobra uses these credentials to verify that you are an authorized user.

Contents

Field	Description
User ID	Enter the ID that your system administrator set up for your use. Cobra remembers the user ID from your last login and automatically enters that user ID in this field. If this user ID is not the one you wish to use, delete it and enter the proper one.
Password	Enter the password associated with your user ID and click Login. If Cobra displays a message that your login information is invalid, re-enter your user ID and password, and click Login again. If Cobra still does not start, check with your system administrator. There are several possible causes for this situation, including: There may be an interruption of network services. You may not be properly registered as a valid user. You may have entered an incorrect password.
Data Source	Select the database connection to use when you log onto Cobra. By default, the Data Source drop-down list displays the data source defined in the ideablade.ibconfig file. The drop down list displays all data sources defined in the Cobra Data Tool. This drop-down list is only available in standalone and client/server deployments.
