Re: IBM i security question

If you can pull this off it is ideal.

Hopefully then, inside your application you have additional authorizations that limit users only to selected functions.

Question though, do you have zero requirement to access the data from outside the application? That is becoming increasingly, if not vanishingly, rare these days!

To protect the database from changes outside of the application I have done
the following:

1. Change the authority for the database to exclusive for the profile
that owns the application.
2. Set the application programs to adopt user authority and owned by
application owner profile.
3. Allow application users access to user application programs.
4. Block other object access for users.


This way you also prevent anybody from doing any weird stuff using ODBC or
other access methods.
