For information on interactive SQL, and the utility dbisq, see the Utility Guide.
You can specify the -V option of isql to use network-based security services such as unified login. With unified login, you can be authenticated with a security mechanism offered by a third-party provider and then log in to Adaptive Server without specifying a login name or a password. Other security services you can use, if they are supported by the third-party security mechanism, include:
Data confidentiality
Data integrity
Mutual authentication
Data origin checking
Data replay detection
Out-of-sequence detection
See Chapter 16, “External Authentication,” in the System Administration Guide: Volume 1 for more information about the options you can specify to use network-based security.
