The Sybase Control Center security model delegates user authentication to the operating system or to your LDAP server.
Sybase strongly recommends that you use a common authentication provider for all Sybase products, including Sybase Control Center. A common authentication provider ensures that single sign-on works for users of Sybase Control Center and its managed servers.
Sybase Control Center requires each authenticated login account to have a predefined role. When a login is authenticated, roles for the login are retrieved by the security module and are mapped to Sybase Control Center predefined roles. Authorization is resolved through the mappings between the security module native roles and Sybase Control Center roles. You can enable mappings by creating a "sybase" group in your operating system or LDAP server and adding all Sybase Control Center users, or by modifying the Sybase Control Center roles-map.xml file to configure the mapping of native roles to Sybase Control Center roles. The security module authenticates the logins and authorizes access to managed resources.
