To add an authentication system:

  1. Click Database Administration > Go to Database Administration in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
    The Database Administration page appears.
  2. Filter or search for, and select the required database connection.
    The database connection home page appears.
  3. Click Edit authentication systems in the Security Summary section.
    The Edit Database Authentication Systems page appears with a list of existing authentication systems:

    You can move forward or backward a page, or specify a particular page, in the list of domains by using the Page feature at the bottom of the list.

  4. Click New.
  5. Type a name of the authentication system in the Name field.
  6. Provide a description or comments (optional).
  7. Type the path of the callback procedure name in the Callback field. The callback procedure file must be a .p or .r file.
    Note: The callback procedure file contains the user authentication function which is implemented using the ABL-based authentication plug-ins. For details about the ABL authentication plug-ins, see OpenEdge Programming Interfaces.
    For the built-in domain types, the Enabled authentication and the Checksum check boxes are disabled by default. For the user-defined domain types, the check boxes get enabled and selected automatically, when you start typing the callback procedure name in the Callback field.
    Note: The callback procedure must be a compiled version for enabling Checksum field.
  8. Click Save. The new authentication system appears in the list.
