Rebuild database - This option will compact and rebuild the WebGate database. All of WebGate's modules must be stopped in order to rebuild the database (this can be accomplished by clicking on the pager icon in the Windows system tray (next to the clock) and choosing 'Quit' or 'Stop' from the popup menu). Please note that an external rebuild utility is also included with WebGate. It is called 'Jetcomp.exe' and can be found in the WebGate program folder. This utility can be used in cases where the WG Admin program is unable to start due to certain types of database corruption. After the database is rebuilt, you will have to restart the WebGate Server module. If WebGate is running as an application or Windows 9x service, restart WebGate by choosing 'WebGate Server' from the Windows start menu. If WebGate is running as a Windows NT service, click on the pager icon in the Windows system tray (next to the clock) and choose 'Start' from the popup menu.

Password Protect - Entering a database password will restrict access to the database from programs like Microsoft Access. Without the password, the database cannot be opened. DO NOT LOSE THIS PASSWORD. If this password is lost, the database may become permanently inaccessible!
