SQL Server Connection String for xcAdmin Database (xcAdminConnectionString)

The ControlPoint Setting SQL Sever Connection String for xcAdmin Database is populated at the time ControlPoint is installed, based on the SQL server identified as the location for the ControlPoint Services Database.  

Config Setting xcAdminConnectionString

The xcAdminConnectionString Value should be modified only under rare and special circumstances (for example, if the location of the ControlPoint Services database or the authentication method for connecting to the database has changed).  

If you cannot connect to ControlPoint to update this setting:

1Open the ControlPoint Configuration Site.

2Navigate to the ControlPoint Settings list.

3Under the category Miscellaneous and Custom, open xcAdmin Connection String and edit as necessary.
