Dubnium server uses an internal account to communicate with the FastDB database and the rest of the internal modules. This account provides a security layer that protects sensitive data. The administrator who runs a loading project must create the secure account and login credentials for the account. BIRT Loader passes a project’s user credentials to the FastDB Engine at run time. The engine authenticates the credentials against the existing secure database accounts. If an account does not exist or a password is not the same, a project fails to run and load data. This feature allows the system administrator to control user access to sensitive data by changing passwords or deleting FastDB Engine user accounts.
To manage FastDB Engine users, you use BIRT Loader Admin, as shown in Figure 2‑21.
