Sybase provides security drivers that allow Client-Library and Server-Library to communicate with the security mechanism. Each Sybase security driver maps a generic interface to the security provider’s interface.
To use a security mechanism on a connection, both items below must be true:
The client and server must use compatible security drivers. For example, a client using a Windows LAN Manager driver requires a server using a Windows LAN Manager driver.
The client application must request services by setting connection properties before connecting to the server.
Network-based security requires a server based on Open
Server 11.1 or later. ASE 12.0 on Microsoft
Windows also supports security services. Adaptive Server 11.0 does
not support network-based security unless an Open Server 11.1 or
later gateway is used.
