Click the Resources tab to configure the servers and database assigned to this role.

Servers
Servers hosting this role. All of them must have access to the role database.
Database status
Current status of the database.
Database server
Name of the SQL Server service. The value (local)\SQLEXPRESS corresponds to Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express Edition installed by default with Security Center Server.
Database
Name of the database instance.
Actions
Maintenance functions you can perform on the role database:
Create a database ()
Create a new database with the option to overwrite the existing one.
Delete the database ()
Delete the database.
Database info ()
Show the database information.
Notifications ()
Set up notifications for when the database space is running low.
Backup/Restore ()
Back up or restore the database.
Authentication
Specifies which SQL Server authentication is to be used:
Windows
(Default) Use Windows authentication when the role server and the database server are on the same domain.
SQL Server
Use SQL Server authentication when the role server and the database server are not on the same domain. Mandatory for Azure SQL Database. You must specify a username and password in this case.
Database security
Security options for communication between the role and its database server.
Encrypt connections
(Default) Uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol for all transactions between the role and the database server. This option prevents eavesdropping and requires no setup on your part.
Validate certificate
Authenticates the database server before opening a connection. This is the most secure communication method and prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. The Encrypt connections option must first be enabled.
NOTE: You must deploy a valid identity certificate on the database server. A valid certificate is one that is signed by a certificate authority (CA) that is trusted by all servers hosting the role and that is not expired.
Images saved to
Archiver role responsible to manage the images (license plate, contextual, and wheel images) that are associated to the reads and hits.
Best Practice: Select an Archiver that is not also managing video units. If all your current Archiver roles are managing video units, create a new one.
NOTE: When using the cloud base Azure database, the Notifications and Backup/restore options are disabled.
