Identification and authentication controls with network based security

Adaptive Server allows users to be pre-authenticated by a security mechanism before they log in to the server. This capability, called unified login, enables a user to log in to several servers without having to supply a login name and password for every connection.

Identification and authentication controls are discussed in Chapter 10, “Managing Adaptive Server Logins, Database Users, and Client Connections.” In addition, see “Using proxy authorization” and Chapter 13, “Managing Remote Servers.”
