How Login Authentication Works

When a client validates the login with LAN Manager, SAP ASE establishes a secure connection between itself and the client.

When a client requests authentication services:
  1. The client validates the login with LAN Manager. LAN Manager returns a credential, which contains security-relevant information.

  2. The client sends the credential to SAP ASE and informs SAP ASE that it wants to establish a secure connection.

  3. SAP ASE authenticates the client’s credential with LAN Manager.

    When the credential is valid, SAP ASE establishes a secure connection with the client.
