Creating a Login

The system security officer (SSO) creates a login account for each user.

Note: Only a systems security officer can create, modify, or delete login accounts.
  1. In the Perspective Resources window, select the servers on which the login account is to be added, then select Administration Console.
    The servers you choose here are used for some of the options in the steps below.
  2. Select ASE Servers > Security > Logins.
  3. Select New.
    You see the Add Login wizard.
  4. On the Introduction window, select the individual servers on which to create a login account, or select all servers.
    Whether you can associate a login profile to the new account depends on the software version the server is running. Login profiles, which support the management of login attributes such as default database, default language, and authentication mechanism are available only in software versions 15.7 and later.
  5. On the Login Name window, enter a name for the login account you want to create, then enter a password.
  6. (Optional) Enter a full name for the account.
    Specifying a full name for the account allows easier identification of the account owner.
  7. On the Login Profile window, choose whether to use a login profile and designate the servers on which the login profile will be used. Choose one of:
    • Ignore login profile in creating login.
    • Use common login profile for the login on the servers with version 15.7 and above. This option is available only when an existing login profile is available.
    • Use different login profile for the login on individual server. This option is available only when an existing login profile is available.
  8. (Optional) On the Default Database window, select a default database for the login account. Choose one of:
    • Use common default database for the login on all servers
    • Use default database for the login on individual server
    If the software version is 15.7 or later and a login profile is assigned to the login, you cannot specify a default database.
  9. (Optional) On the Optional Parameters window, select the default language for the new login account.
    If the software version is 15.7 or later and a login profile is assigned to the login, you cannot specify a default language.
  10. (Optional) Select the authentication mechanism for the new login account.
  11. On the Database Access window, select the databases that the login account can access.
    The step adds a user account of the same name as the login to the selected database.
  12. (Optional) Click Summary to verify your selected options.
