Try passing them in as blanks.
my $db = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn", '', '');

Hi there,
I figured this would be a pretty common problem, but I didn't see anything in the FAQ or docs.
We've got a script that uses DBI to connect to SQL Server.
There is a system DSN set up and this already has the username and password. So do we really need to pass them again, as shown below?
my $db = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn","$db_user_name","$db_password");
We tried the following (removing the username/password parameters), but we got a connection error.
my $db = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn");
It would be nice (for maintenance) and obviously more secure if we could pass only the DSN name.
Thanks,
