SmartObject Services - SmartBox Service
The SmartBox service provides a SQL database for storing SmartObject data when there is no existing system that can store the data. K2 will automatically generate and update tables in this database when SmartBox-based SmartObjects are deployed.
| Setting | Value | Required |
|---|---|---|
| sqlconnection | Supply a SQL connection - e.g. Server=localhost; Database=SmartBox; User ID = k2; Password=k2; Pooling=false | This is a required field |
| throwErrorNothingLoaded | True/False | |
| throwErrorNothingCreated | True/False | |
| diffSQLServer | True/False | |
| Option | What to do | |
| Security Provider | Enter the Security Provider - e.g. SourceCode.Hosting.SecurityProviders.SmartBox | |
| User Name | Enter the user Name - e.g. Administrator | |
| Password | Enter the associated password - e.g. K2pass | |
| Extra | Provides additional information, for example dll paths needed. (Optional) | |
| Impersonate | This is checked by default for SmartBox Services. The impersonate option allows the K2HostServer service account to impersonate the user. | |
When configuring the rights the following applies:
- If the User Name and password is configured and the Impersonate checkbox is selected (set to True) the service will ignore the User Name and password and use Impersonate.
- If the User Name and password is configured and the Impersonate checkbox is not selected (set to False) the service will use SQL Authentication.
- If the User Name and password is not configured and the Impersonate checkbox is not selected (set to False) the service will use the K2 Service Account.
- If only the User Name and password is configured the service will use SQL Authentication.
