External Authentication

SAP Sybase IQ supports LDAP and Kerberos external authentication methods.

• LDAP User Authentication with SAP Sybase IQ
  You can integrate SAP Sybase IQ into any existing enterprise-wide directory access framework based on Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a widely accepted international standard.
• Kerberos authentication
  The Kerberos login feature allows you to maintain a single user ID and password for database connections, operating system, and network logins. The Kerberos login is more convenient for users and permits a single security system for database and network security. Its advantages include:
• Licensing Requirements for Kerberos
  The Advanced Security Option (IQ_SECURITY) protects your environment against unauthorized access, and is required to use Kerberos authentication with SAP Sybase IQ.
