Client authorization

EAServer provides component authorization through both roles and custom components:

Roles EAServer authorization model is based on roles. Use the Sybase Management Console to define roles. Each role can include and exclude specific user names and digital certificates. If you use native operating system authentication, you can also include and exclude operating system group names; all users in the specified group are affected.

See “Configuring roles” for more information on defining roles.

Custom components EAServer provides role and authorization service components with which you can create and install your own component to authorize clients to access resources on EAServer. See Chapter 7, “Creating and Using Custom Security Components.”
