OpenEdge identity types and their applications

OpenEdge supports two basic types of user identity for OpenEdge database clients that can be applied in various ways:
*Authenticated user identity — All applications
*Default user identity (for backward compatibility) — Database connections only
In addition, OpenEdge supports different mechanisms to authenticate identities for OpenEdge components other than OpenEdge database clients. For more information, see Authentication mechanisms for other OpenEdge components.
