Authentication

Anonymous. The OpenAccess SDK Server accepts connections from the OpenAccess SDK Client without verifying the client’s identity.

Operating system user ID and password. The OpenAccess SDK Server verifies the identity of the OpenAccess SDK Client using a user ID and password that must be valid for the platform on which the OpenAccess SDK Server is running. If verified, the server accepts the user ID as the identity of the client and permits the connection.

Kerberos. Kerberos authentication uses Kerberos, a trusted third-party authentication service, to verify user identities. Kerberos authentication can take advantage of the user credentials maintained by the operating system to authenticate users to the database. This method requires knowledge of how to configure your Kerberos environment.

Integrated NT. This option is supported for connections between OpenAccess SDK Server for Windows servers and ODBC Clients, ADO Clients, and .NET Clients on Windows only. The OpenAccess SDK Server verifies the identity of the OpenAccess SDK Client using the client’s Windows network logon credentials instead of a Windows user ID and password.
