Elements of an application authentication model

In OpenEdge, you can implement any one of a variety of authentication models. The authentication model defines and determines how (and if) you use any of the authentication elements described in this section.

For more information on the basic features provided by OpenEdge to include in an application authentication model, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Identity Management. Other sections of this chapter describe how to use the supported mechanisms to implement these authentication features for an ABL application.
