I understand "application" security. This is the old menu based stuff
which relies upon the "average" user being set up with "limited
capabilities = *yes" to restrict them from a command line access. This is
not to be confused with the "application only" security model in which
*PUBLIC has no access the data and the only access is via programs which
adopt authority.
The problem with relying on menu based, or application, security is that
access to data via FTP, ODBC, remote command and a host of other
techniques becomes pretty wide open.
But, if you're going to run a set of routines which automatically change
all the authority on objects it would be pretty easy to migrate to
"application only" access. True, you do have to be concerned about those
users who do have a need to query data and whatnot.
