Operating System Security
Each operating system provides security measures that you can use to protect r-code procedure files, procedure library files, and database files.
On UNIX, you can use operating system file security to protect your procedure files in addition to, or instead of, including security checking in the application procedures. For example, if you want to be the only user allowed access to
p-adcust.p
, you should create the source and r-code files with your user ID, then change the permissions for the files. To change the permissions forp-adcust.p
, enter one of the following UNIX commands:
These permissions indicate that you are the only user allowed to read from (R) and (W) write to
p-adcust.p
. No other users are allowed any kind of access to that procedure.For more information about using the operating system to protect database files, see the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference. For more information about setting operating system permissions, see your operating system documentation.
