Security in Event Stream Processor is improved by requiring authentication for all connections to clusters.
Users connecting to a cluster from Sybase Control Center, ESP Studio, command-line utilities, or the SDK, must authenticate using any of the existing methods: Kerberos, LDAP, RSA, or by specifying user name/password credentials (native OS).
Users connecting to the local cluster in Studio authenticate as the studio user, with a user-defined password that is valid for the current session only.
