SQL getConnection doesn't pass Username and Password

Question

I am trying to connect to a secure Microsoft Access database.
I connect to the database but the username stays as Admin with an empty password. And unfortunitly Admin doesn't have the permissions that I need.
This is part of my code:
          Properties DBCreds = new Properties();
          // Put the Username and Password into the properties
          DBCreds.setProperty("user", STRING_USERNAME);
          DBCreds.setProperty("password", STRING_PASSWORD);
          // Get the database driver
          try
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
          catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.out.println("Class not found for the JDBC to ODBC Driver.");
               System.exit(1);
          // Connect to the databases
          System.out.println("Starting Connections to the Databases");
          System.out.println("Database: General Tables (" + DATABASE_GT + ")");
          try
               conn_gt = db.getConnection(STRING_DBCONNECT + DATABASE_GT,DBCreds);
               sql_gt = conn_gt.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
          catch (SQLException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.out.println("\nERROR: Failed Connection to General Tables");
          }Yes I am using a Properties varible to pass the username and password but I have also tried using the getConnection(URL,USERNAME,PASSWORD) and it didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hard code the connection string and the user,
password using getConnection(String url, String user,
String password). Still is admin
Make sure that the meta data call is right after the
connection call.It is.
Once you have done that then run again and see what
the meta data returns.Still Admin
If it still returns admin then I would suppose that
the meta data is going to return that regardless of
what you do. (I would suspect that this might be the
case.)Maybe but the thing is it is only using the Admin security settings while I need to use the USERNAME security settings
If it returns the correct name then I would suppose
that either you are setting up the properties wrong
or the getConnection(String url, Properties info)
doesn't work.Ok here is my problem revised... Admin doesn�t have read properties on the Zonas table, but the username that I have does. The part of teh code that is failing is:
          System.out.println("Opening Zonas table");
          try
               missionaries = sql_gt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Zonas");
          catch (SQLException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.out.println("FAILED!!\n" + STRING_DBCONNECT + DATABASE_GT);
          }The output is:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'Zonas'.
