I am trying to access a database through an ODBC DSN connection. There is no documentation as to what parameters are required to connect. I am trying the following:

DSN=dsn_name; UID=user; PWD=password

When I try to connect using the above parameters, I get the following error:

Security Exception
The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy.

Does this mean that I am missing something in my connection string or something somewhere else?

Thanks in advance.
