A DATABASE ACCESS SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MULTI-TIER COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A method for assigning access rights in a database server operating in a multi-tier computer architecture comprises granting a database connection user execution rights to execute a gatekeeper function of the database server. The gatekeeper function is executable to extract session related data and request data from an XML database request message provided by the database convection user. The gatekeeper function is further executable to execute an authentication function for authenticating the session related data. An owner of the authentication function is granted rights to call one or more stored procedures identified by the session related data, responsive to the session related data being successfully authenticated.
