1. A Database is a computer term used to mean a file or files where data is stored in a central location for access by one or more users. A database differs from a document file in that a document generally is only accessible by one user at a time and is organized by pages. A database is generally capable of being accessed by many users at once, with each user being able to read and save information at the same time.
2. Authentication has a somewhat specialized meaning in computers. It essentially means to verify the user, which can be done in several ways. The most common means of verifying or authenticating a user is to have the user provide a password.
3. Database Authentication is a simple password authentication method. There is a password set for the database the user needs to provide to gain access. The Management by Statistics system uses a default password upon installation. Click the "Use Default" button to check to see if this is the correct password. For higher security installations, the database password should be changed in the Database Manager.
4. Windows Authentication verifies that the user you signed into your computer with has access. It is assumed that because you have gained access to the computer using a Windows user name and password that you are that person. The database then checks to see if you have been granted access to the data. If your Windows user name has not been granted access, you will not be able to connect to the database.
