Getting information about available security services  Determining enabled security services

Chapter 16: External Authentication

Determining supported security services and mechanisms

A system table, syssecmechs, provides information about the security mechanisms and security services supported by Adaptive Server. The table, which is dynamically built when you query it, contains these columns:

The table may have several rows for a single security mechanism: one row for each security service supported by the mechanism.

To list all the security mechanisms and services supported by Adaptive Server, run this query:

select * from syssecmechs

The result might look something like this:

sec_mech_name                   available_service
------------------------------ --------------------
 dce                            unifiedlogin
 dce                            mutualauth
 dce                            delegation
 dce                            integrity
 dce                            confidentiality
 dce                            detectreplay
 dce                            detectseq
