Each Adaptive Server user must have a login account identified by a unique login name and a password.
Users must have a login account with a unique name and password to access a server. When a login account is added to one or more servers, the account is given a unique system user ID, which identifies the users regardless of the server being used. Once a login account is created, a user account is created for users to access individual database. Login profiles can be associated with a login account to manage attributes such as the default database, default language, authentication mechanism, tracking the login, setting inactivity periods, and invoking login scripts.
