Adaptive Server accepts client logins and server-to-server RPCs. The address and port numbers where Adaptive Server accepts connections are configurable so you can specify multiple networks, different protocols, and alternate ports.
In the interfaces file, SSL is specified as a filter on the master and query lines, whereas security mechanisms such as Kerberos are identified with a SECMECH line. The following example shows an entry for an Adaptive Server using SSL in a UNIX environment:
SYBSRV1 master tcp ether myhostname myport ssl query tcp ether myhostname myport ssl sechmech 1.3.6.1.4.897.4.6.6
An entry for the server with SSL and Kerberos security mechanisms on Windows might look like:
[SYBSRV1] query=nlwnsck, myhostname,myport,ssl master=nlwnsck, myhostname,myport,ssl secmech=1.3.6.1.4.897.4.6.6
The SECMECH line in the example contains an object identifier (OID) that refers to the security mechanism Kerberos, respectively. The OID values are defined in:
UNIX – $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config/objectid.dat
Windows – %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS\ini\objectid.dat
In these examples, the SSL security service is specified on
port number myport).
The use of SSL concurrently with a SECMECH security
mechanism is intended to facilitate migration from SECMECHs to SSL
security.
