JDBC Connections at Project Level

We just recently upgraded to pro to allow for a informix jdbc connection at the project level. When we configure the new connection, it is attempting to log in with the windows credentials of the machine rather than the credentials supplied in configuration. We tested this at the test step level as well:
if you configure the jdbc test step manually by adding a JDBC test step and typing in the driver and connection string, the connection works fine. As soon as the project level connection is chosen, it tried to grab the wrong user name and password, not the ones configured. If you then choose to not use the project level, the manually configured driver and connection string no longer work at the test step level (with no change to the set up that worked prior to choosing to use a project level configuration).

We do not have this same issue when connecting to a sql database at the project level, only when connecting to an informix database.

  • Hi,

    strange! soapUI doesn't interact with your local system in any way so it can't be the one using your windows credentials - maybe the JDBC driver does this for some situation?

    Is there no difference whatsoever between the project level and teststep level JDBC configurations?

    regards!
