Tip of the Day: Managing Application Security Using New CVAL Functions
Product: R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64)
Build..: 9.5.3.20718 or higher www.rupdates.com
CVAL Functions: (CVAL('NETGROUP')), (CVAL('NETLOCALGROUP'))
Traditionally, when managing database/application security and access level,
you may validate and provide database and application access by implementing
various R:BASE (CVAL('keyword')) functions as follows:
. (CVAL('COMPUTER')) Returns the name of your computer
. (CVAL('NETUSER')) Returns the currently logged-in network user name
. (CVAL('USERDOMAIN')) Returns the Name of Logged-In Network Domain
. (CVAL('USERID')) Returns the Windows User ID
. (CVAL('WINAUTH')) Returns the value of the WINAUTH operating condition.
This function is specific to R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64)
Did you know that now you may provide added database/application security
and access to windows logged-in user based upon MS Windows "Global Groups"
and "Local Groups"?
The following two additional CVAL functions are now introduced in the latest
update and build of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64), released on July 18th, 2013.
. (CVAL('NETGROUP')) Returns a list of global groups to which the current
logged-in user belongs
. (CVAL('NETLOCALGROUP')) Returns a list of local groups to which the current
logged-in user belongs
Using these CVAL functions, now you may provide access based on your network
global or local groups as compared to providing application access based on
individual (CVAL('NetUser')).
This will help all our government, corporate, and enterprise users of R:BASE
eXtreme 9.5 to add unique feature to their R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 applications.
Stay productive, my friends!
Very Best R:egards,
