Using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator

You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to edit the DSN configuration. Note that the DSN is created during the installation process.

Complete the following steps to edit the DSN configuration:

1. Select Start > Search, and enter ODBC Data Sources in the Search box.
2. Choose the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your application (32-bit or 64-bit).
3. Click the System DSN tab.
4. Select the system data source and click Configure.
5. Edit the information on the Connection tab and click OK.

Note: For .NET Framework 4.0, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable. For .NET Framework 3.5, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable.

OAuth

You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials.

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

• Region: Set to the region of the Exact Online service you want to connect to.
• Division: Set to the division of the Exact Online administration.

When you connect, the driver opens the Exact Online OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the driver. The driver then completes the OAuth process.
