    This is the recommended authentication method. It allows users that don’t have Windows administrator privileges to access the Genetec Patroller™ database. You’ll need to choose a Login and Password for the Patroller application to be able to access the database.

    The login and password you choose will be embedded in the Genetec Patroller™ Config Tool Connection string.
