Single Sign-On with Connect for JDBC Integrated Authentication
Information Security Introduction
Information security has become an increasingly visible and important topic to companies. Driven by a number of highly publicized security breaches and episodes of financial malfeasance, organizations are under pressure to implement the business processes and technical infrastructure necessary to protect their information assets. In most cases, information assets are stored in relational database systems and accessed by customers, partners, and employees using business applications such as financial reporting systems, e-commerce websites, and employee and partner intranets. Many of these business applications are deployed using Java, which leverages JDBC driver technology for connectivity to the database. In order to protect information assets, each component of the application infrastructure must be secure; otherwise, the information asset may be compromised. This document explains the role that a JDBC driver plays in a secure solution and explains how DataDirect Technologies is taking a leadership role in ensuring secure database access through JDBC.
