Setting Up Security

Configure login authentication, specify an e-mail server, and map roles.

1. Security
   The Sybase Control Center security model delegates user authentication to the operating system or to your LDAP server.
2. Configuring Authentication for Windows
   Authentication through the Windows operating system is enabled by default, but it requires some configuration. First, set Sybase Control Center to create an account when a Windows user logs in to Sybase Control Center.
3. Configuring a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for UNIX
   Set up Sybase Control Center to support username and password login using accounts on the UNIX operating system. Optionally, have Sybase Control Center create an account when a UNIX user first logs in to Sybase Control Center.
4. Configuring an LDAP Authentication Module
   Configure an LDAP authentication module for Sybase Control Center by editing the security properties file to point to the correct LDAP server.
5. Mapping Sybase Control Center Roles to LDAP or OS Groups
   To grant Sybase Control Center privileges to users who are authenticated through LDAP or the operating system, associate roles used in Sybase Control Center with groups in LDAP or the operating system.
6. Configuring the E-mail Server
   Specify the e-mail server for Sybase Control Center to use to send e-mail alert notifications.
7. Configuring Sybase Control Center
   For configuration instructions, see the Configure section of the help for your Sybase Control Center product module.
