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
Connection securityYou can administer the security of the connections to the database server by using authentication and authorization processes.
Single sign-onSingle sign-on is an authentication feature that bypasses the requirement to provide user name and password after a user logs into the client computer's operating system.
Configuring the HCL OneDB™ instance for SSOComplete the following tasks for the server side of your system to enable SSO functionality with HCL OneDB™:
Ensure keytab file has the required key (UNIX™ and Linux™)Add the service principal key generated in the Key Distribution Center to the credentials information stored in the keytab file on the HCL OneDB™ host computer, and then validate that all necessary credentials are stored in this file.
The keytab file (UNIX™ and Linux™)All Kerberos server computers on UNIX™ and Linux™ must have a keytab file to authenticate with the Key Distribution Center.

The keytab file (UNIX and Linux)

All Kerberos server computers on UNIX™ and Linux™ must have a keytab file to authenticate with the Key Distribution Center.

A keytab file is an encrypted copy of the HCL OneDB™ service key. This file must be on the computer hosting HCL OneDB so that the DBMS can authenticate with the Key Distribution Center (KDC) and can accept the client's security context.

For instructions on adding a key to the keytab file, see the documentation provided with the Kerberos product.
