security related
if we are talking about security at the configuration level, would the 'security related' subset in sp_configure have all the related information? or are there parameters/values to be found elsewhere? appreciate the feedback.

The configuration paramters are the ones that are directly security-related, but security is a much bigger topic than just a few parameters. For example, you can enable auditing ( a config param plus some setup steps), but how you set up you auditing configuraion and how you analyse the collected info is what makes it work (or not). Same for column encryption. Same for the classic grant/revoke permission settings and use of roles and groups: this is the cornerstone of security, but there no config parameters involved at all. You'll need to dig through the manuals to get a good understanding of the issues involved...

ASE Security Related Question
Hi All, Security type question: This is our environment: - Delphi application connecting to an ASE 11.5 on NT 4.0 (using the BDE) - MS-Access connecting to the same ASE 11.5 server using ODBC (Intersolv 3.0) The problem: The users do their updates to the db through the Delphi app. The MS-Access app. is supposed to be used for querying only. We want to restrict update access to the db to have to go through the Delphi app. Currently have a couple of distinct Sybase groups set up - 1 for inquiry which has select access, 1 for update which has all privileges. Problem is some...

Issue related with secure AuthenticationType i.e. AuthenticationTypes.Secure
So when i use DirectoryEntry MyDirectoryObject = new DirectoryEntry(LDAPServerString, UserName,Password, AuthenticationTypes.Serverbind); I can work with LDAP no problem, create new users etc.. But when I use DirectoryEntry MyDirectoryObject = new DirectoryEntry(LDAPServerString, UserName,Password,AuthenticationTypes.Secure); I get 2 types of errors 1] Unknown error 2] Invalid dn syntax has been specified. The user details are correct and they are the user details of the directory manager. What is going wrong here ?...

Could it be possible to take scripts from ASA and load them in an ASE Any information is welcome jean-fran�ois ASA supports a fairly large sub-set of Transact-SQL, so if you write your stored procedures and triggers in ASA using T-SQL, you should be able to create scripts that will run against both ASE and ASA. If you're planning to do this though, I would suggest developing your database schema against ASA, since everything you write in T-SQL in ASA will be supported on ASE, but the reverse is not true. Check out the section in the ASA documentation entitled "Tra...

Lo everyone, I wrote a custom authentication handler for PureFTPD, using a combination of authentication methods, for about 4 different types of users. So far, from testing it, it does look to work properly, and does it's job pretty well (and fast). I use #!/usr/bin/perl -W as well as use Strict, and use warnings, and the code returns no errors or warnings when run. I am right to presume that this basically only really tells me the my syntax and structure of the application is right? What's a good way to see whether it is actually SECURE...
