The format of the interfaces file has been expanded to allow specification of the security mechanisms supported by a server. The format is:
SERVERNAME
query tcp sun-ether joyce 2901
master tcp sun-ether joyce 2901
secmech mechanism1, mechanism2,..., mechanismN
The secmech identifier lists all of the security mechanisms supported by a server, and applies under the following conditions:
This line is optional and is only used if the server is not using a Sybase-specific security mechanism.
If there is no secmech entry for a server in the interfaces file, the server supports all the security mechanisms specified in the libtcl.cfg secmech entries.
If there is a secmech entry for a server in the interfaces file, but no security mechanisms are specified, then the server does not support any security mechanisms.
mechanism1, mechanism2,...mechanismN are the object identifiers of the security mechanisms supported by the server. You can specify multiple security mechanisms using a comma (,) separator. See “Object identifiers”.
