%Service_CacheDirect

This service authenticates connections to Caché through the Caché Direct server. The Caché Direct server is available on any supported platform; clients for this service can only be on Windows.

%Service_CacheDirect manages access for two types of client-side applications:

Client applications that use the Caché Direct client software. These have all authentication mechanisms available.
Client applications that use the legacy CacheObject.dll library. These have no security features available; for these legacy applications, the %Service_CacheDirect service must enable the Unauthenticated mechanism only.

Since legacy applications can only support unauthenticated access and both types of client applications use the same service, Kerberos authentication is not available for Caché Direct clients if Caché is configured to accept connections from a legacy application; similarly, if a Caché instance is configured to accept Kerberos-authenticated connections from Caché Direct clients, legacy clients cannot connect to it.

Note:

CacheObject.dll is supported for legacy applications only. New development should use either the Caché Direct client or the CacheActiveX.dll and the %Service_Bindings service.
