For auditing data integrity, the identity of the user who is recorded in the audit records must be absolutely reliable. That is, the user ID must be successfully authenticated by a trusted authentication system that OpenEdge recognizes.
OpenEdge supports the following sources of user accounts to authenticate a user ID for auditing:
OpenEdge RDBMS _User table accounts available through the built-in _oeusertable authentication system
Local operating system accounts through the built-in _oslocal authentication system
External user accounts accessed by an ABL authentication callback defined for a user-defined authentication system
External user accounts accessed directly by the ABL application and associated with a user-defined authentication system or the built-in _extsso authentication system
