You typically configure OpenEdge-supported security domains in an OpenEdge Database using database administration tools, including the:

  • Database Administration Console in OpenEdge Management
  • Data Administration utility in the OpenEdge program group on Windows
  • Admin menu of the character-mode Data Dictionary

For details, see Defining and configuring security domains in Learn about Identity Management.

After you have configured your authentication manager plug-in, you need to add your OpenEdge security domains and domain access codes in OpenEdge Database.

Enter a domain access code

A domain access code is a secret value used by OpenEdge or your ABL application both to cryptographically seal a security token during user authentication and to validate a user's sealed security token. The domain access code is typically a long character string value known only to the domain configuration.
