Configuring Database Users

The Lawson database driver (oradb11 / oradb12) 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.

For Authentication using Database Service, 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 same user(s) in the Environment, using Lawson Security and Resource Management or Lawson User Administration.

• Create a database service using Lawson Security and Resource Management.

• Edit the database driver configuration file (ORACLE, IBM, or MICROSOFT) and add the appropriate parameter settings for your method of access.
