Login Policies

Login policies govern only the rules for user login and are separate from authorities and permissions.

A login policy is a named object in a database that consists of a set of rules that are applied when you create a database connection for a user. All new databases include a root login policy. You can modify the root login policy values, but you cannot delete the policy. Login policies are not inherited through group memberships.

• Creating a Login Policy for a Simplex

• Deleting a Login Policy
