The security system available at your site applies to the adapter. ADABAS security also automatically applies to the adapter.

The adapter enables you to read password-protected ADABAS files by supplying the password in the Access File. This password can also be set dynamically in a session so that one Access File can be shared by many users (each with a different password). For more information, see the SET PASSWORD command discussed in Environment Commands.

Additionally, you can implement the security features available with FOCUS to restrict users from accessing ADABAS databases.

FOCUS database administration enables you to do the following:

• Limit the number of users who have access to specific files.
• Restrict users from reading specific files, segments, fields, or records for certain field values.

For more information on FOCUS database administration, see your FOCUS documentation.
