Authenticated Database and Applications

#1

Hi,

We are planning on creating a new module for an application that,
while a part of that application, will be seperate from it for
simplicity sake. I am confused as to what it means for an application
to be authenticated for use with a database. Does this have any
bearing with our license of SQL Anywhere? Or is the purpose to protect
the data from access by an unauthorised application?

Thanks,
Sohaib

I believe what you are referring to means you have to authenticate
your connections before you can use them. I.E. "SET TEMPORARY OPTION
CONNECTION_AUTHENTICATION =
'company=my_company;application=my_application;sig nature=000aab...longhexnumber...
1';

This is necessary for the oem edition usually for when sybase is
embedded within an application.
