Access Controls to Data Sources

Provides ACL
facilities to help prevent unauthorized access
Netscape
Application Server works within the framework of existing access
controls for relational database management systems. A user or application
must log in to the database before gaining access to the data.
Developers can write applications so that users enter login information
only once and the application saves the information in a session
object. Thereafter, the application uses the initial login information
to log in to different databases, as needed, in the background without
requiring additional user input.
Netscape Application Server shields backend data by acting as a
secure gatekeeper between the Web server and the relational database
system.

Data Security
|
Netscape Directory
Server provides NAS applications with data security by using access
control lists, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and password policies,
following an industry standard specified by the RSA Corporation.
In addition,
NAS provides secure Web server communication and supports SSL, HTTPS,
and HTTP challenge-response authentication. To bridge the security
gap between browsers and data sources, NAS supports user authentication,
cookies, and database access controls for the secure handling of
transactional operations. Event logging and tracking enables detection
of, and protection against, unauthorized access.
