Jeff, I had not looked at the "client-principal" stuff yet. It sounds like it involves some custom programming. IE. it looks like it allows a software developer to introduce their own custom authentication scheme into the database. This "client-principal" approach appears to be the third database authentication option that I've heard of now. It seems like a relatively new alternative to "_user" authentication table (but older than "oe auth gateway"). Here are some KB's I've found; the earlier ones seem to be from 2014 or so: 000037324, 000051566, 000053131, 000053242, Do you know if there are any articles that describes the various approaches that Progress has proposed for database security over the years? It would be nice to get a list, along with the pros/cons for each. I'm less interested in SQL92 connectivity than ABL connectivity (particularly remote "client/server" connectivity in ABL). Thanks, David PS. I'm fairly convinced that the "oe auth gateway" is the right direction for us to take in the long run, but was looking for something simpler in the short term. Any help would be very much appreciated.
