Hi, I am writing an application for accessing a SAPDB database via ODBC under Linux. The access to the DB should only be possible with the client software which handles the access control in an application specific manner. So, the users should not be able to access the database directly with some other query software passing by the access control of the application.
I want to get around writing a server application, because this would be a bit over-sized for my purpose. I must implement a kind of protocol, I must handle binary data and so on ... One idea was to connect always with one special user whose account data will not be published, but the problem is where to store the information so that the client software can use it. To put it into the source code is no good idea, because the software will be open source. One possible solution would be to store it on the database server in a file that can only be read by the administrator and write a small daemon that can send the sccount data to the client software. Any suggestions how this problem can be solved in a simple and secure way? Thanks, Ralf. _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
