Enabling AREA authentication

You use the AREA API to create an AREA server, which mediates between the data source and AR System. (The AREA API is installed with the AR System C API.) The AR System server provides the name, password, and IP address in a remote call to the AREA server, which validates the name and password and then passes the account information back to the AR System server. The AR System server combines the account and user schema information.
