Data Source Credentials

Credentials are needed to access some OpenSpirit data sources. Some credentials are optional and some are mandatory. Some OpenSpirit data sources do not have any credentials. Credentials are entered by clicking the icon in the Settings column next to a data source that has at least one credential.

Note: The account selected in the Host/Account setting of OpenWorks, and Studio data sources determine the projects that are shown in the Data Source Settings panel. Select the account that is used to run the data connector before entering any data source credentials for OpenWorks, and Studio data sources.

Data sources with no credentials not have any icon in the Settings column. The SEGY data source shown in the image above is an example of a data source that does not have any required or optional credentials.

A blue refresh icon RefreshIcon.gif next to a data source indicates that a credentials check has not been performed. Click the refresh icon or on the project list expansion arrow to perform a missing credentials check for the data source.

A green check mark settings icon GreenCheckMarkIcon.gif next to a data source indicates that all mandatory credentials needed to access the data source have been entered. Data sources with optional credentials, or with mandatory credentials that have default values are also shown with a green check mark icon.

A red horizontal bar settings icon RedHorizontalBarIcon.gif is shown next to data sources having one or more mandatory credentials that have not been entered. The missing credentials must be entered before accessing these data sources. Click the red horizontal bar icon to display the settings window used to enter the missing mandatory credentials.

Enter the missing credentials required by the data source and press the Ok button.

Data sources that require credentials at the project level lists all accessible projects in their credentials window. The same credential values can be entered for multiple projects by selecting the projects you wish to assign a credential value to and pressing the Set for Selected icon SetForSelectedIcon.gif in the credential window tool bar. This opens a window that can be used to enter credential values that applied to all selected projects.

Pressing the Clear credentials for selected rows icon  in the credential window tool bar removes all credentials previously entered for all selected projects.

Tip: Credential values are not validated at the time that they are entered. Data source credentials are validated when a connection to the data source is attempted. This usually occurs when selecting the data source for display in the OpenSpirit Data Selector.
