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.

SurveyMonkey uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. The account whose surveys will be read must have a paid plan subscription, given that SurveyMonkey requires this to read survey responses.

There are two authentication methods available for connecting to SurveyMonkey:

• Using the Personal Access Token, when you are registering a private oauth application.
• Using OAuth, when you are registering a public oauth application.

Using the Personal Access Token

Use the personal token to test and to access your own data. To obtain the personal token, follow the steps found in Creating a Custom OAuth App and set the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to AccessToken.
• AccessToken: Set this to the AccessToken generated in your app settings.

Using OAuth

The driver is already registered with SurveyMonkey as an OAuth application. As such, it will, by default, automatically use its Embedded Credentials to connect.

If you would prefer to use your own custom OAuth app, see Custom Credentials.
