Sec_Keytab_File – PB Docs 126

Sec_Keytab_File database parameter

Description

When you access an SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise database
in PowerBuilder through Open Client, Sec_Keytab_File
is one of several parameters that support login authentication for
network-based security services. (For other login authentication
parameters, see the See Also section.)

Sec_Keytab_File applies only to connections
using Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Kerberos as their
security mechanism and requesting network-based login authentication.
For those connections, Sec_Keytab_File specifies
the name of the keytab file containing the security key for the
DCE user.

You must set Sec_Keytab_File
if the login ID specified in the database profile or Application
is different from the user name of the DCE
user currently running the application.

You must specify a value for Sec_Keytab_File before connecting
to the database in PowerBuilder.

Syntax

Parameter

Description

keytab_filename

The name of the keytab file containing
the security key for the DCE user

Default

None

PowerBuilder does not set Sec_Keytab_File
or the corresponding Sybase Open Client Client-Library (CT-Lib)
connection parameter CS_SEC_KEYTAB if you do not
specify a value.

Usage

Supported only with Distributed Computing Environment

Only Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) security servers
and clients support the use of keytab files. Therefore, Sec_Keytab_File
is supported only when your security mechanism is DCE Kerberos.

When to use

If you want your application to be able to connect to a server with
a different user name (login ID) than the DCE user currently running
the application, set Sec_Keytab_File to specify
the name of the keytab file containing the security key for the
appropriate user. For details, see “Requirements for using
Open Client security services” in Connecting
to Your Database
.

Set Release parameter

For this parameter to take effect, you must also
set the Release parameter to 11or higher to specify that your application
should use the appropriate version of Sybase Open Client Client–Library
(CT-Lib) behavior. See the description of the Release parameter
for more information.

Requirements for use

To use Sec_Keytab_File 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 “Requirements for using Open Client security services” in Connecting
to Your Database
.

Corresponding CT-Lib connection property

Specifying a value for Sec_Keytab_File sets
the corresponding Sybase CT-Lib connection property named CS_SEC_KEYTAB.

Examples

To specify C:DCE_KEY as
the name of the DCE keytab file:

  • Database
    profile

    Type the following in the Keytab File box on the Security
    page in the Database Profile Setup dialog box:

  • Application

    Type the following in code:
