Hi Alex, I can't think about an easy way to do this. Of course there is a way - by making your application to be three tiered, and the middle tier to check the access of clients to your server. Another way would be writing your own authentithication module (Communication Support Module) using GSS API. I don't know if it is supported in 7.21. AND I didn't even try working with this, so don't ask me how to deal with it :-) Best Regards, Octav On Fri, Jul 02, 1999 at 05:39:02AM +0000, alex@prb.mldnet.com wrote: > Hi All, > I wonder whether the possibility exists to restrict the access of > database administrator user "informix" to certain IP addresses area. > It is necessary to limit WAN users actions. > I have Informix OnLine Dynamic Server 7.21 on HP-UX 10.10. > I will be grateful for any recommendations. > Thanks in advance. > Alex Kochetov. > > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ > Share what you know.
