Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether the connection is established using impersonation.
If True, the connection is established using impersonation.
If False (default), the connection is established using the credentials specified by the Login and Password properties.

Remarks

If the ConnectAsUser property is set to True, the ConnectAsUserName property and the ConnectAsUserPassword property are used to acquire credentials for impersonation. Any subsequent connection is made with the credentials of the specified user, and the LoginSecure property, the Login property, and the Password property are ignored.
