Data required in ODBC

Username should be "DBA"
Password should be the first password that you used to login to SEPM.
Server name should be the name of the server.
Database name should be  "sem5"

If you dont remember the password follow the following steps to get the password

•  Remove all the details from ODBC and change the name for the database from sem5 to SEM
• Go to C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Php\
• Go to php.ini properties, and uncheck the read-only option
• Open php.ini using a notepad
• Modify the following lines to read:

             display_errors = On
             display_startup_errors = On

• Open IE and brose to  http://localhost:8014/reporting  and login using SEPM credentials.
• It will give an error similar to the following:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message '<b>Source:</b> ASAProv.90<br/><b>Description:</b> Request to start/stop database denied' in C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Reporting\Common\ado.php:40 Stack trace: #0 C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Reporting\Common\ado.php(40): com->Open('Provider=ASAPro...', 'DBA', 'password') #1 C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Reporting\Common\connectdb.php(46): ado_connect(Object(com), 'SymantecEndpoin...', 'DBA', 'password', NULL, NULL) #2 C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Reporting\Login\curl_funcs.php(360): connectnav(Object(com)) #3 C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Reporting\Login\curl_funcs.php(98): doProcessLoginResponse('admin', '<?xml version="...', '<?xml version="...', 0) #4 C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Reporting\Login\Login_verify.php(2 in C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Reporting\Common\ado.php on line 40

Note: The password next to DBA which is bold in the above example is the password for ODBC

             display_errors = Off
             display_startup_errors = Off
