Description Access security is a vital part of any
application. Caravan Enterprise Server comes with inbuilt security. You can achieve document
level security for user domains by writing a few lines of codes and following the security
conventions while creating your web pages.
User domains is used to restrict user access and also for various menu options to shown to the
user as per his domain.
Before we go ahead we would like to remind you that the word "DOMAIN" is specific to
Caravan and has no relation with your network domains. The "DOMAIN" in Caravan used
to define various categories of users for your application. Domain ADMIN is automatically
generated when Caravan Business Server is installed. For security reasons, the user
information is not available directly from the caravan.users database. To access the user
information, an interface is available through the user object or through the predefined
userinfo object for all logged in users. The Domain or Role is an important property of the
user that can be set on each web page. A user could belong to the domain/role Employee or
Manager. A domain can also be a department, say HRD or Marketing. The Caravan Business Server
will prompt the logged in user for a login name and password, for access to a specified
domain. Only users authorized to access a user domain are allowed access to the pages for that
domain. Using the domain of the user, different menus and options can also be shown to the
user.
