examples of supported security mechanisms include: Distributed
Computing Environment (DCE) security servers and clients, CyberSafe

You must be able to access a secure Adaptive Server server
using Open Client 11.1.x or later software from outside
PowerBuilder.To verify the connection, use a tool such as ISQL or
SQL Advantage to make sure you can connect to the server and log in
to the database with the same connection parameters and security
options you plan to use in your PowerBuilder application. -
You are using a PowerBuilder database interface.
You are using the ASE or SYC Adaptive Server interface to
access the database. -
The Release DBParm parameter is set to the appropriate value
for your database.You have set the Release DBParm parameter to 11 or higher to
specify that your application should use the appropriate version of
the Open Client CT-Lib software.For instructions, see Release in the section called “Release” in Connection Reference.
