If your OpenEdge RDBMS is accessed only through the OpenEdge SQL interface, you should enable logon validation to ensure only authorized users have access.
If your OpenEdge RDBMS is accessed through both the OpenEdge SQL and Progress 4GL interfaces and the 4GL does not require logon validation, then you should not enable SQL logon validation it unless you intend to modify your 4GL application and make full use of this feature.
If your OpenEdge RDBMS is accessed through the OpenEdge SQL and 4GL interfaces and the 4GL already uses logon validation, then you must use logon validation for OpenEdge SQL.
For information on creating logon validation for the OpenEdge SQL interface, see OpenEdge Data Management: SQL Development.
For information on creating logon privileges using the Progress 4GL interface, refer to the online help for the OpenEdge Data Administration tool.
