Depending upon the security mechanism you choose, Adaptive Server allows you to use one or more of these security services:
Unified login – Adaptive Server receives a user’s previously authenticated credential (login and password) from the client application when the client makes a request of the server. Adaptive Server then verifies that credential with the security mechanism, so the user supplies a login name and password only once to gain access to Adaptive Server.
Integrity – Adaptive Server uses a message integrity algorithm negotiated at login time with the client application to verify that data communications from the client have not been tampered with. Adaptive Server “signs” all outgoing data communications so the client can verify their integrity.
For details on setting up your system to use security features, see Chapter 10, “Using Network-Based Security,” in the System Administration Guide.
