Enhanced Security

Servoy 5.2 introduced a more robust security model for Smart Clients. The new mechanism, labeled Enhanced Security, is enabled by default, but will break existing implementations that fall into either of the following two scenarios:

Installing a clean Servoy 5.2 environment, but keep using Sybase SQL Anywhere
When a clean Servoy 5.2 installation is done, it contains the PostgreSQL database engine and sample databases. When wanting to continue to develop using Sybase SQL Anywhere, the following steps need to be taken:

  • Remove the {servoy_install}/application_server/database and {servoy_install}/application_server/postgres_db directories from the 5.2 installation
  • Copy the {servoy_install}/application_server/database and {servoy_install}/application_server/sybase_db directories from an existing Servoy installation to the new Servoy 5.2 installation.
  • Edit the "nativeStartupLauncher" property in the {servoy_install}/application_server/servoy.properties file to contain the following value: "%%user.dir%%\\sybase_db\\dbspawn.exe|%%user.dir%%\\sybase_db\\dbsrv11.exe|@sybase_db\\sybase.config#Path\=%%Path%%;sybase_db;sybase_db
