Installing and Setting Up Security Server

A security server ensures platform information security by executing functions of administration and request handling between databases and Prognoz Platform 9.

Principles of Security Server Work

The client version of Prognoz Platform 9 connects to security server via web service and passes identifier of the required repository configured at security server. Then all requests to the Prognoz Platform 9 client version to database pass via the security server that forms requests to the database. On using the web application the BI server used as a business logic core is added to configuration.

As all work with requests to DBMS is executed at the security server, it is not necessary to install database client application to the client workstation.

The end user will not see the difference between the use of security server and working directly with database.
