Enhanced Object Security

This chapter explains Enhanced Object Security, a feature that can optionally be activated for an IDMS Central Version. Because Enhanced Object Security is defined at the IDMS CV side, a client CA IDMS Visual DBA can access a mix of IDMS CVs that are either configured with or without Enhanced Object Security.

Only IDMS Central Versions that control access from CA IDMS Visual DBA through Enhanced Object Security require the additional configuration steps described in this chapter.

At any time CA IDMS Visual DBA access control through Enhanced Object Security can be disabled or enabled for an IDMS CV.

At the end of this chapter, security aspects of the SQL objects used by CA IDMS Visual DBA are discussed.
