Abstract
Method, system, and product for authenticating database connections between a database server box having a database server and a database gateway; and an application server box having an application server and a connection authenticator. The application server and the connection authenticator are connected to the database server over an IP network. A TCP connection is established from the database gateway to the connection authenticator. The authenticator authenticates the application server and permits routing database requests and responses to and from the database server.
