  2. Start the Server Config utility

  3. Complete the initial steps to configure Adaptive Server.

    For instructions, see“Starting Server Config for Adaptive Server”.

  4. Click the Login Security button in the Configure Adaptive Server Enterprise dialog box.

  5. Continue with “To enable Standard login security mode” or “For integrated or mixed login security mode,” depending on the login mode.
