Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

Connection security

Connection security ensures that only authorized users connect to a database. To establish connection security, choose Edit User List in the Data Dictionary to create a list of valid users. Once the user list is established, choose Security Administrators to appoint one or more security administrators. From then on, only security administrators can access Edit User List.

Typically, users who are not security administrators have limited access to the Security menu. They can only modify their own passwords and run a quick user report.

Note: OpenEdge supports data privacy for client-server communications with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. For more information, see "Starting database brokers for SSL connections" section.
