Informix Error -32101: DAC check failed.

Cause and resolution

DAC check failed.

Your session identity does not permit you to perform the operation on the OnLine/Secure object that you are accessing because it violates the DAC policy of OnLine/Secure. Log in with the appropriate identity, or obtain the necessary privileges and retry the operation.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-32101 fires when a session's identity doesn't permit the attempted operation on an OnLine/Secure object — per the official guidance, this violates OnLine/Secure's DAC (Discretionary Access Control) policy.

  1. The session's identity lacks the necessary privilege for the operation, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Log in with the appropriate identity, or obtain the necessary privileges, and retry the operation, per the official guidance.
Examples
N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond a session identity/DAC policy mismatch.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check the session's identity and privileges against the operation's requirements, and obtain the missing privilege or log in as an appropriate user.
