2. Pervasive Security Model

3. Current Btrieve Security Model Application issues a file open request Application issues a file open request Pervasive.SQL engine verifies with the OS that the user login credentials has physical rights to the file Pervasive.SQL engine verifies with the OS that the user login credentials has physical rights to the file If User has rights – Access granted If User has rights – Access granted Else – Access denied Else – Access denied Pervasive.SQL acts as a Client/Server proxy for the user

4. Current SQL Security Model Application logs onto a database Application logs onto a database Pervasive.SQL engine verifies with the user has been defined as a valid user of the database Pervasive.SQL engine verifies with the user has been defined as a valid user of the database If User defined – Access granted If User defined – Access granted Rights are assigned based on a defined profileRights are assigned based on a defined profile Pervasive.SQL isolates the user from the database. The engine controls access The engine controls access

5. Weaknesses in the Btrieve model Btrieve has no concept of a database, simply files. Btrieve has no concept of a database, simply files. OS level rights are required for each user and file OS level rights are required for each user and file No central way to control security No central way to control security No programmatic way to control user access No programmatic way to control user access Two different security models to a common data store
