Re: How to prevent user connect with ids

Uhm yeah that would work. If you don't have any TCP/IP connection defined in your $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts that would be the safest if you don't want *ANY* outside connection. The major drawback would be if you had a 4gl app that was on another machine.... Another solution would be to write you own PAM module ... But thats another story and a bit harder to do, provided that Informix is fully supporting PAM in both 32 and 64 bit configs. > >The shared memory option is preferred but my second favorite...
