Security

The integrity of your IDMS data source is not jeopardized because FOCUS read-only features are supported.

The adapter also supports FOCUS DBA security features. For example, you can use the ENCRYPT command on both Master and Access Files to prevent end users from examining sensitive data.

You can use FOCUS to enforce security at the following levels:

File level

Prevents access to a file.

Field level

Limits user access to fields within a file.

Field value

Controls access based on user-specified field values.

Resource security

Controls the number of records in a file that a user can retrieve for reporting.
