Security and Authentication

To protect data from unauthorized access, OSvC data stores require connections to be authenticated with an access token or user credentials. Some data stores also require connections to be encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. The Simba ODBC Driver for OSvC provides full support for these authentication protocols.

Note: In this documentation, "SSL" refers to both TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The connector supports up to TLS 1.2. The SSL version used for the connection is the highest version that is supported by both the connector and the server.

The connector supports basic user name and password authentication. You can authenticate your connection by providing your user name and password in the DSN or connection string.

Additionally, the connector supports SSL connections with or without one-way authentication. If the server has an SSL-enabled socket, then you can configure the connector to connect to it.
