Setting the password grants the privileges necessary to instruct SQLBase CenturaGarde to encrypt databases and detect unauthorized changes to database pages. Until you set the security password, SQLBase does not create or allow access to encrypted databases. In addition, it lets you perform all of the administrative operations permitted by a server connection password. When the success of your business hinges directly on the security of your data, server and database security become paramount. When SQLBase detects an invalid password or username, it delays its response to the caller.
Delays become successively longer upon each logon attempt using an invalid password.
Users with valid usernames and passwords are not affected by these enhanced security measures and will never experience a delay logging on. This results in SQLBase CenturaGarde storing database pages on the disk in encrypted form. When users access the data, SQLBase CenturaGarde server decrypts the data and transmits it to the client. By using transmission security between SQLBase CenturaGarde clients and servers, you can prevent unauthorized users from viewing data directly as it transmitted across a communications medium. The SQLBase 7.5 Suite offers a smooth upgrade for customer's transitioning from SQLBase 6.1 or higher.
