In this lesson, you register the MobiLinkAuth authenticateUser method for the authenticate_user synchronization event. You add this script to CustDB, the MobiLink sample database.

MobiLink database sample

SQL Anywhere ships with a SQL Anywhere sample database (CustDB) that is already set up for synchronization. The CustDB ULCustomer table, for example, is a synchronized table supporting a variety of table-level scripts.

CustDB is designed to be a consolidated database server for both UltraLite and SQL Anywhere clients. The CustDB database has a DSN called SQL Anywhere 11 CustDB.

To register the authenticateUser method for the authenticate_user event

1. Connect to the sample database using Interactive SQL.

   Run the following command:

   dbisql -c "dsn=SQL Anywhere 11 CustDB"

2. Use the ml_add_java_connection_script or ml_add_dnet_connection_script stored procedure to register the authenticateUser method for the authenticate_user event.

   For Java, execute the following command in Interactive SQL:

   call ml_add_java_connection_script( 'custdb 11.0', 'authenticate_user', 'MobiLinkAuth.authenticateUser'); commit;

   For .NET, execute the following command in Interactive SQL:

   call ml_add_dnet_connection_script( 'custdb 11.0', 'authenticate_user', 'MobiLinkAuth.authenticateUser'); commit;

In the next lesson, you start the MobiLink server and load your class file or assembly.
