Problem IT38317 | Status: Closed |
TRUSTED CONTEXT USER IS NOT ABLE TO CONNECT WITHOUT AUTHENTICATION | |
product: | |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10 | |
Problem description: | |
When using trusted connections and a trusted-context object a user may be authorized for use without authentication. An example: CREATE TRUSTED CONTEXT tc1 BASED UPON CONNECTION USING SYSTEM AUTHID 'user1' ATTRIBUTES (ADDRESS 'host1') WITH USE FOR user2 WITHOUT AUTHENTICATION DEFAULT ROLE testrole ENABLE ; In this example user1 establishes a trusted connection to the Informix server and should then be able to switch to the user2 without having to provide user2's password. However this operation fails and error -26456 "The authorization ID is not defined for the trusted context" is returned. If the trusted context object is created WITH AUTHENTICATION for user2 then the switch user operation will succeed when a valid password is provided. | |
