Sec_Cred_Timeout
database parameter
Description
When you access an SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise database in
PowerBuilder through Open Client, Sec_Cred_Timeout is one of several
parameters that support login authentication for network-based security
services. (For other login authentication parameters, see the See Also
section.)
Some security mechanisms allow applications to set credential
timeout values for connections that use network-based login
authentication. Sec_Cred_Timeout specifies the number of seconds
remaining before a user’s network credentials expire and become invalid.
Users obtain network credentials when they log in to the network.
By default, Sec_Cred_Timeout specifies that there is no credential
timeout limit — the credentials do not expire.
You must specify a value for Sec_Cred_Timeout before connecting to
the database in PowerBuilder.
Using third-party security mechanisms
For information about the third-party security mechanisms and
operating system platforms that has been tested with Open Client
security services, see the Open Client documentation.

CyberSafe Kerberos

cannot override the installation default value set for credential
timeout.
Set Release parameter
For this parameter to take effect, you must also set the Release
parameter to 11 or higher to specify that your application should use
the appropriate version of SAP Sybase Open Client Client-Library
(CT-Lib) behavior. See the description of the Release parameter for more information.
Requirements for use
To use Sec_Cred_Timeout or any other parameter supporting Open
Client security services, you must meet certain requirements for using
security services in your PowerBuilder application. For details, see
the section called “Requirements for using Open Client security services” in Connecting to Your Database.
Corresponding CT-Lib connection
property
Specifying a value for Sec_Cred_Timeout sets the corresponding SAP
Sybase CT-Lib connection property named CS_SEC_CREDTIMEOUT.
Examples
To specify 120 seconds (2 minutes) remaining before a user’s
network credentials expire:
-
Database profile
Type 120 in the Credential Timeout box on the Security page in
the Database Profile Setup dialog box. -
Application
Type the following in code:
1SQLCA.DBParm="Sec_Cred_Timeout=120;Release=15"
