A role is a container that holds one or more privileges for access to SQL Tables. If a user is associated with a role, then that user is able to exercise the role’s privileges.
Imagine that your .NET project uses the Caché DBMS and you need a fully-functional and reliable authorization system. Writing such a system from scratch would not make much sense, and you will clearly want to use something that already exists in .NET, e.g. ASP.NET Identity. By default, however, this framework supports only its native DBMS – MS SQL. Our task was to create an adaptor that would let us quickly and easily port Identity to the InterSystems Caché DBMS. This work resulted in creation of the ASP.NET Identity Caché Provider.
Hello, I am writing to request assistance on an issue I appear to be having when accessing Ensemble. I have it running on a Windows virtual machine, on a Mac laptop, and am trying to access it through the emergency ID account. When starting Ensemble through the command line window using ccontrol start ENSEMBLE /Em... I get an error and Ensemble does not start. Below is the error message I am getting when checking the logs:
I have a few cubes and numerous dashboards and I am ready to deploy them to our end users and administrators. How to configure DeepSee so that users don’t disrupt each other’s areas and are restricted from using functionalities specific to developers?
I am working on an ZAUTHENTICATE.mac to move us from local cache users to Delegated Authentication against LDAP.
I have created a user role within my instance of Ensemble that matches the AD Group that I will be assigning everyone in my group to. Is there a way to query the list of available Roles within Ensemble, and if one of my AD groups matches that role, set the role for that user?
How would I compare the AD Group against the Role listing?
We have a need to mount remote databases using ECP, but with the Application servers mounting some of the remote databases as Read Only. The Data servers will keep them R+W as normal.
I am working through trying to use ZAUTHENTICATE.mac and LDAP.mac to do Delegated sign on into Ensemble. In reading over the samples and the documentation, I am not clearly finding on how to set the Appropriate Role from the LDAP group I return. Can someone help explain this part to me? If I have a user sign on, and I return a "Group" from the Authentication, how do I get that to transform into the Role I need for Ensemble.
This post is meant to provide a quick possible explanation for a very perplexing problem.
Scenario: You’ve just created your own administrative user in your 2014.1 (or later) instance of Caché. You gave it every possible security role (including %All), so it should in theory be able to do anything within the instance.
You’ve written a very advanced routine with a break command in it for debugging:
In old Caché versions it was possible to create a new role based on predefined %Developer by copying it and adding some resources as needed. It was true at least from 2010.1 to 2015.1.
After upgrade from 2015.1.4 to 2017.2.1 it turned that it's only partially true now. User with a "New-Developer" role can enter Studio and open existing cls/mac/etc for editing and everything is OK unless he tries to create something new (Ctrl-N), than he gets a pop-up with %msg: <User xxx does not have enough privilege to execute stored procedure %CSP.StudioTemplateMgr_Templates>
In part 1 we started working on a security model for DeepSee and create a user type having privileges typical of end users. In this part we are going to create a second user type with ability to edit and create DeepSee pivot tables and dashboards.
In part 1, part 2, and part 3 parts of this series we set up three user types. In part 4 we saw how to secure model elements and DeepSee items. In this last part of the tutorial we conclude with some remarks on DeepSee security and troubleshooting tips. In particular, we see how pivot tables in User Portal can be "hidden".
In part 1 and part 2 of this series we set up two user types, simpleuser and poweruser. In this part of the tutorial we create one last user type having privileges typically needed by an administrator/developer in analytics.
In part 1, part 2, and part 3 of this series we set up three user types. In this part of the tutorial we see how to secure model elements (such as DeepSee cubes) and DeepSee items (such as a folder containing pivot tables and dashboards in the DeepSee User Portal).
When you deploy DeepSee solutions you often do not want grant a User %All Role to work with a particular Dashboard.
Consider a Dashboard 'Dash' with a few widgets where listings are being used.
If you manage a Role to get access to the Dash you need to grant access to %DB_DBNAME resource to have a database access, grant access to a Dashboard resource (if any) and ... grant SELECT accesses to all the tables involved in SQL queries being used in all the listings of widgets.
Initially when setting up a cache instance one creates or imports the user/ resources roles etc .
After the Mirror has been activated you can add users, resources etc. But when trying to add new SQL Table privileges to a namespace where the databases are mirrored it seems that you are not able to , Getting error:
I have a need to restrict ODBC access to certain users to prevent unwanted access to our cache database.
We have a limited number of legacy applications that use ODBC to connect to read data and are currently not in a position to have these amended any time soon so in the interim, I am hoping someone will be able to provide me with some assistance.
I have multiple namespaces in a Cache environment say NS1 & NS2. I want to add some restriction so that a routine running in the NS1 should not access any resource(global/routine) belongs to namespace NS2.
The above restriction need for few of the clients only, so we do not want to write any custom logic in code.
We are looking for some solution provided by Cache where we can restrict the namespace access.
I have created some roles, and would like to know if there is a way to export the Roles and save them off to a file? I want to create a backup file of these roles for DR purpose, and in case I ever get hit by the preverbal bus.
I'm trying to setup a new accesss role for the company support team to use the message viewer and production config page to trace the errors that eventually could occurr on the production integrations.
This error is sometimes seen while viewing a listing in InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence: ERROR #5540: SQLCODE: -99 Message: User <USERNAME> is not privileged for the operation (4)
As the error suggests, this is due to a permission error. To figure out which permissions are missing/needed, we can take a look at the SQL query that is generated. We will use a query from SAMPLES as an example.
I've added a REST service which worked fine on our test system but failed on the production environment because UnknownUser does not have %All set and I really don't want it set on production (in fact I've also switched it off on test).
Is there a way to allow a single REST service to have unauthorised access?
I was thinking adding a resource/role to UnknownUser specifically for that service but I've never touched on Users/Roles/Resources so I'm struggling to work out what needs adding where.
