Client
OBJECTIVES:
THE LEARNERS WILL BE ABLE TO:
•1. CREATE A USER FOLDER;
•2. CONFIGURE USER ACCESS;
•3. CONFIGURE USER ACCESS.
TOPICS:
LESSON 1: Understanding The “Server” And
“Client”
LESSON 2: Creating User Folder
LESSON 3: Configure User Access
Networks, like
humans, exist even
within computer
systems!
TOPIC: CLIENT/SERVER
• - According to the Management Information System, is the new technology
that yield solutions to many data management problems, faced modern
organizations.
CLIENT - Any process that requests specific services from the server.
SERVER – a process which provides requested services for the client.

NETWORK
SERVER CLIENT
Checks authorization Managing the user interface
Ensures that integrity Accepts and checks the syntax
constraints are not violated of user inputs
Performs query/update Process application logic
processing and transmits
responses to client
Accepts and process database Processes request and transmits
requests from client to server
Provide concurrent data access Passes response back to server
TOPIC 3: CLIENT/SERVER
TOPOLOGIES
•Client/Server Topologies is the physical
layout of the client/server network.
