User authentication for UltraLite databases


UltraLite provides optional database user IDs and passwords for user authentication. Unlike Adaptive Server Anywhere and other multi-user database systems, UltraLite user IDs are used for authentication only, not for permission checking or object ownership within a database. By default, UltraLite databases have no user authentication.

For information on implementing user IDs, see Adding user authentication to your application.

UltraLite user IDs are separate from MobiLink user names and from user IDs in any reference database or consolidated databases you use during development and after deployment. In many cases you may wish to provide code so that the values used for each are the same, but they do remain distinct concepts. For example, in the CustDB sample application, you are prompted for an employee number when starting the application. This employee number identifies the database for the purposes of MobiLink synchronization, and is not an UltraLite user ID for connection or data access purposes.
