If your Aster Database is configured to authenticate users against Active Directory (“AD”), you can configure your Aster ODBC clients to authenticate against AD, too. With this configuration in place, each ODBC client will be required to authenticate against AD when it tries to connect to Aster Database. If the ODBC client authenticates successfully, an SSL channel is established automatically for communication between Aster Database and the client. When your system is configured to use SSO, the \password command in ACT will not be available.
