Specifying an Object Constructor String for a Component

To specify an object constructor string for a component, use the following steps:

1. In the details pane of the Component Services administrative tool, right-click the component that you want to configure and then click Properties.
2. In the component properties dialog box, click the Activation tab.
3. To enable use of the object constructor string, select the Enable object construction check box.
4. In the Constructor string box, enter the construction string (for example, DSN=AccountingServer). You have the option of entering an empty string.

Note

Object constructor strings should not be used to store security-sensitive information.
