Sybase Control Center uses encrypted passwords to connect to Adaptive Servers that are configured for network password encryption.
If an Adaptive Server is configured to use network password encryption by setting net password encryption reqd, Sybase Control Center establishes a connection to an Adaptive Server using a password that is encrypted during network transmission.
The Adaptive Server must be configured to use network password encryption to transmit encrypted passwords. See System Administration Guide: Volume 1 > Setting Configuration Parameters.
