Chapter 16: External Authentication

Login authentication

If a client requests authentication services:

  1. The client validates the login with the security mechanism. The security mechanism returns a credential, which contains security-relevant information.

  2. The client sends the credential to Adaptive Server.

  3. Adaptive Server authenticates the client’s credential with the security mechanism. If the credential is valid, a secure connection is established between the client and Adaptive Server.
