About DB Security

DB Security is used for the Trapeze4 and Trapeze5 platform where the Oracle database connection is database authenticated.

Important: Setting up database security can only be done on Version 10.0.20 and higher, and Version 11.0.3 and higher.

DB Security creates an INI file that resides in the BIN folder of the Trapeze4 build, where the executable is run (BIN\MMSW41.exe) (PLUGIN\Shell50.exe).

When a user attempts to login to the database and this INI file exists, the connection to the ODBC will be authenticated by the username and password that resides in this INI file rather than the username and password used when logging into Trapeze4.

The use of DB Security allows the System Administrator to quickly setup users and passwords in Trapeze4 instead of doing it at the database level. The INI file provides a more convenient setup rather than creating the user credentials in the database, granting permissions, and then creating the same user name and password in the Trapeze platform.
