These options control the functions that you are able to perform. This issue is discussed in more detail in User Rights.
Read Only Mode
When this option is selected, AQT runs in read-only mode. Only SELECT statements can be run. All other SQL statements will be rejected with the message "You are not authorized to run this statement".
Only allow signon to some databases
This option allows you to specify which database-types you see in the Signon window. This can be used a security measure to prevent users from accessing particular database types using AQT.
When this option is selected you will be shown a list of all available ODBC Drivers. Select the ones you require access to.
Hide the Admin Component
When this option is selected, the Admin Component will not be visible. You may select this if you are not licensed for the Admin Component, and do not wish to see the toolbar.
This option only comes into effect the next time you sign onto a database (as this setting effects the way the Database Explorer window is built).
Disable Save Password on Signon window
This option disables the Save Password feature. Some sites may deem this feature to be a security risk and wish to prevent it from being used.
When this option is selected:
In addition, when you check this option you will not be able to use the Run as DB2 Command, Index Advisor or Explain Formatter tools, if you have signed onto the database with a password. The reason for this is that these tools involve passing the userid / password to the DB2 utilities. It is theoretically possible for the password to be intercepted; when Disable Save Password is checked, AQT adopts a higher security model so will prevent the possibility of this interception.
Hide ODBC Admin functions on Signon window
This option hides the ODBC Admin buttons (New, Config, Delete, ODBC Admin) on the Signon window.
Hide System Monitor
This option will hide the System Monitor.
Lock This Setting
If you have selected any of the above options, the Lock This Setting buttons will be active. Clicking on these buttons will permanently change the setting. You will never be able to unset this option.
Fixed Options
AQT allows your system administrators to fix some particular options, which then cannot be changed. If these has been set for you, you will see these shown on this part of the window.
