SecurityYou can secure your HCL OneDB™ database server and the data that is stored in your HCL OneDB™ databases. You can encrypt data, secure connections, control user privileges and access, and audit data security.
Security in HCL OneDB™The HCL OneDB™ Security Guide documents methods for keeping your data secure by preventing unauthorized viewing and altering of data or database objects, including how to use the secure-auditing facility of the database server.
Securing data
Label-Based Access ControlYou can use label-based access control (LBAC), an implementation of multi-level security (MLS), to control who has read access and who has write access to individual rows and columns of data.

Security policies

Security policies are database objects that you create and use to protect tables from unauthorized access.

A security policy is a named database object defined by a group of security label components.

A security policy is attached to one or more tables to allow only users with valid label-based access control credentials to read or write protected data. A user has valid credentials when the user has a security label that dominates when compared to a labeled row or column after the IDSLBACRULES. A security policy has no effect on data that has no security label.

No more than one security policy can be attached to a table, and a security policy can include no more than 16 security label components. You attach a security policy to a table by using a clause in a CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement. See Protecting tables at row and column levels for how to attach the policy to a table.
