Configuring Database Users

Lawson applications can access the database as the lawson user or as the individual user who logged on and made a request for data. Create a method of access that fits your security and auditing needs any time after installing the database.

When configuring database users, do the following:

• Using tools provided by the database vendor, create the database user(s) that you want to access the database and assign them any privileges outlined in this guide.

• Create the Landmark users who will access the database, using the Security Administration utility (secadm).

• Create an Environment (GEN) database user for each Environment.

• Create the login scheme for the database user(s), either USE_USER_ID or USE_PRIVILEGED_ID.

• Edit the database interface configuration file (db.cfg) and add the appropriate parameter settings for your method of access.

• Create and configure the database service, assign the login scheme to the database service, and assign the database identity to the login scheme, using the Security Administration utility.
