Question

I’ve recently taken over a script from someone who’s left the company and it recently started failing. The code looks up a specific user and sends them an e-mail.

I’ve nailed the culprit line that fails to be (user and passwords is set to my personal account):

my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:IDM', $idm_user, $idm_passwd)

from this database the script selects the E-mail from a specified user login name.

I can’t seem to find any documentation on the database IDM and was wondering if anyone knows of it?
Is it a built in Microsoft Exchange DB or Windows domain DB?

Thanks!

Answer 1

That line is connecting to an ODBC data source called IDM defined in the ODBC data source administrator in that system.
