Database Security Basics
• Before authorization to user db resources can be
granted, a login needs to be established for each user of
the DBMS.
• Logins are sometimes referred to as accounts, or user
IDs.
• The login will have a password associated with it such
that only those who know the password can use the
login ID.
• Some DBMSs use the OS login ID and password as the
DBMS login ID and password; others require an
additional login ID and password to be created
specifically for DB access and security.
