Sec_Mutual_Auth database parameter
Description
When you access an SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise database
in PowerBuilder through Open Client, Sec_Mutual_Auth
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_Mutual_Auth controls whether your connection’s
security mechanism performs mutual authentication. When Sec_Mutual_Auth
is set to 1, the server must prove its identity to the client before
connecting by sending a credential token containing the server’s
principal name and proof that this name is authentic.
When Sec_Mutual_Auth is set to 0 (the default),
no mutual authentication is performed.
You must specify a value for Sec_Mutual_Auth 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 Sybase has tested
with Open Client security services, see the Open Client documentation.
