Fields

Network settings

Impersonation level:

The level of impersonation that the server is allowed to use when impersonating the client. This property applies only to network connections other than RPC (Remote Procedure Call) connections.

Select from the following levels:

• Anonymous

  The client is anonymous to the server. The server process cannot obtain identification information about the client and cannot impersonate the client.

• Identify

  The server can obtain the client's identity. The server can impersonate the client for ACL (Access Control List) checking but cannot access system objects as the client.

• Impersonate

  The server process can impersonate the client's security context while acting on behalf of the client. This information is obtained when the connection is established, not on every call.

• Delegate

  The process can impersonate the client's security context while acting on behalf of the client. The server process can also make outgoing calls to other servers while acting on behalf of the client.

Protection level :

The level of protection of data sent between client and server. This property applies only to network connections other than RPC connections.

• None

  Performs no authentication of data sent to the server.

• Connect

  Authenticates only when the client establishes the connection with the server.

• Call

  Authenticates the source of the data at the beginning of each request from the client to the server.

• Pkt (Packet)

  Authenticates that all data received is from the client.

• Pkt Integrity

  Authenticates that all data received is from the client and that it has not been changed in transit.

• Pkt Privacy

  Authenticates that all data received is from the client, that it has not been changed in transit, and protects the privacy of the data by encrypting it.
