By default, the ASE OLE DB Provider sends plain text passwords over
the network to ASE for authentication. You can use this feature
to change the default and encrypt passwords before they are sent
over the network. When EncryptPassword
is
set to 1, the password is not sent over the wire until a login is
negotiated; then, the password is encrypted and sent.
To encrypt passwords on Windows
Set the EncryptPassword property in the connection string to 1.
