Remote User property sheet: General tab

The General tab of the Remote User property sheet has the following components:

Name Shows the name of the remote user.
Type Shows the type of object.
Allowed to connect Select this option to allow the remote user to connect to the database. If the remote user is not allowed to connect, the password (if one was supplied) is removed from the account. If you later change the remote user to allow them to connect, you must supply a new password. Clearing this option disables the Password and Confirm Password options.

Users are almost always allowed to connect.
- Password Type the password for the remote user. For added security, the characters appear as asterisks.
- Confirm password Confirm the password that you typed in the Password text box by entering it again. The contents of the two fields must match exactly.
Comment Provides a place for you to type a text description of the remote user. For example, you could use this area to describe the remote user's purpose in the system.
