UseRegistry Command Line Switch For ASTA Servers

The AstaBDEServer and AstaODBCServer will both respond to the UseRegistry command line switch that allows you to pull login information from the registry instead of entering it directly. On the login dialog, if you click on the Use Registry check box, the alias (or datasource), username and password will be saved in the registry. You can then subsequently run the server with the command line switch UseRegistry to start up the server and bypass the login dialog.

1. Start up an ASTA server, and then choose an alias and type in your user name and password. Make sure to click on the UseRegistry check box.

2. Run it once.

3. Next time you run the server put UseRegistry on the command line and it will use the alias, user name and password from the registry.
