Adaptive Server provides strong encryption for external login passwords and hidden text, using the AES-256 symmetric encryption algorithm. You may choose strong encryption for external passwords to:
Replication Agents – replicated databases.
CIS – remote descriptors and logins.
Job Scheduler – Job Scheduler Agent.
RTMS – real time messaging.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) – SSL and LDAP access accounts. Passwords are administered using stored procedures sp_ldapadmin and sp_ssladmin can be secured.
Objects that have SQL text stored in syscomments, such as stored procedures, user-defined functions and computed columns can be optionally encrypted with strong encryption using sp_hidetext.
Encrypting external passwords and hidden text requires
the ASE_ENCRYPTION license.
