Hi, We have a Powerbuilder 8 application with Sybase 12.5 backend. We are trying to strengthen the application authentication by employing Kerberos (talking to Active Directory). We know that Powerbuilder 10 works with Kerberos, does anyone know whether Powerbuilder 8 would work too?
Also: 1) Once we are converted, how would authorization work? As we understand it, Kerberos would take care of the authentication. However, when the db requests get to Sybase, how does it know what authority (grants) a particular user has (we have been told we do not need users defined in sybase anymore)? 2) Also, if we "Kerberize" the sybase server, would all db instances in that server be also "Kerberized"? 3) Finally, once we "kerberize" a server/database, would we be able to logon the the server/db without going through Kerberos (via Isql, etc.)?
