Certificates (SQL Anywhere)

Sybase SQL Anywhere (v16.0 and higher) supports X.509 certificates for transport-layer security. PowerDesigner models certificates as extended objects with a stereotype of <<Certificate>>.

Creating a Certificate

You can create a certificate in any of the following ways:

  • Select Model > Certificates to access the List of Certificates, and click the Add a Row tool.

  • Right-click the model (or a package) in the Browser, and select New > Certificate.

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a certificate property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Certificates folder.
