Database Service (DBS) Security
Security for the DBS is administered by the Access Control Service (ACS). As with other CygNet services, security is set on an application and event basis. The application name of the DBS is defined in the service configuration file using the keyword ACS_APPLICATION. The default is “DBS.” The security events are listed in the DBS Events table below.
The following tables provide details about DBS security settings. See also Security.
| Service Application Name | Main Security Event | Component-Level Security | Subject to Application Override |
