The CD is, obviously, read only. This means that the search engine must know the username and password that it is going to log onto the database with.

It would be possible to actually try and register the username and password automatically - but that would delay startup. Perhaps the best solution in future will be for the app to silently try SYSDBA/masterkey first and if that fails try the hardcoded values.

Hmmm.. I thought that the users were "database related" (each database has it's own), not database engine related (QuickDesk lets me add users only once I've connectec to a database). So I thought that you were missing the right user in the included database...
