Setting up security
dBASE Plus provides built-in levels of security against unauthorized access to encrypted databases and tables. This table-level security depends on data encryption.
Sensitive tables should always be encrypted by using the database vendor’s administration software. dBASE Plus’ password dialog is presented whenever a user tries to access a form linked to an encrypted table or database. The user’s response to the password dialog is passed to the encrypted table or database for verification before dBASE Plus will display the form. See your database vendor’s documentation about security administration for SQL, ODBC, or non-Standard systems.
The DBF and DB tables you create within dBASE Plus have built-in encryption. dBASE Plus provides direct database administration security access to set passwords for BDE-Standard DB and DBF tables, as well as the extensive user-access and privilege-level security features of DBF tables.
