Chapter 16: External Authentication

Setting up configuration files for security

Configuration files are created during installation at a default location in the Sybase directory structure. Table 16-2 provides an overview of the configuration files required for using network-based security.

**Table 16-2: Names and locations for configuration files**
File name	Description	Location
libtcl.cfg	The driver configuration file contains information regarding directory, security, and network drivers and any required initialization information.	UNIX platforms: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config Windows platforms: %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\ini
objectid.dat	The object identifiers file maps global object identifiers to local names for character set, collating sequence, and security mechanisms.	UNIX platforms: $SYBASE/config Windows platforms: %SYBASE%\ini
