For databases operating under increased security, users must be authenticated to perform database maintenance. Additional parameters are required to authenticate the user, as follows:
A pair of username and password parameters are used together to support a common user authentication model to specify the user ID and password when connecting to an OpenEdge RDBMS.OpenEdge authenticates the user ID and password against the user accounts defined by the authentication system configured for the user's security domain.
Use username and password parameters to identify an authenticated database administrator.
If you do not specify a user ID and password for a database connection, OpenEdge assigns the OS process's user-id as the default user-id.
For more information on authentication systems and security domains, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Identity Management.
-Passphrase
For encryption-enabled databases only, specifies to prompt for a passphrase to authenticate the key store. Utilities that open the database must at a minimum authenticate as the key store user. Utilities that modify encryption policies must authenticate as the key store admin. See Transparent Data Encryption for more information on encryption and key store authentication.
If your database is enabled for transparent data encryption and configured for manual start, you must specify -Passphrase every time the database is opened.
