Remote User Authorization Operations
Remote user authorizations, along with node definitions, make it possible to use Ingres Net to access databases on remote nodes. A remote user authorization associates a specified vnode name with a specified account on the remote node. When the user requests a connection using that vnode name, Ingres Net makes the connection to the DBMS Server on the remote node through that account.
Three operations concern remote user authorizations:
• Adding new remote user authorizations
• Deleting existing authorizations
• Viewing existing authorizations
In addition, change an existing authorization by overwriting the authorization or by deleting it and adding a new authorization.
To perform any of these operations, you must have the following information about the authorization:
• The type of the authorization, private or global
• The vnode name of the remote node
• The name of the account on the remote node
• The password for the account on the remote node
