U2 does not have a separate Login process. One of the great advantages of UniVerse is that it took advantage of the facilities of the operating system in relation to file systems, security, etc. It rarely in the past rolled its own. The biggest issue was telnet server on windows which was not available at the time.
Whilst I do not know the internal processes that you would have get from IBM, my impression is that UniVerse uses the windows authentication. For a user to be logged into universe, they have to have a login account created for windows and that is all. UniVerse could not run on Windows 98 as Vmark stated authentication and proper file systems did not exist for them to run the database on. If you want to restrict file access you apply security restrictions through windows, you do not use any IBM utility. If you apply SQL security in universe, then you can find you don't have SQL access to UniVerse when they change domain names. Whilst SQL security is in an additional layer in windows it does not overwrite windows security.
