Encrypted Authentication for Replication

SAP Control Center uses encrypted passwords to connect to an SAP Replication Server, an SAP ASE, an SAP ASE that hosts a Replication Server System Database (RSSD), and an SAP® SQL Anywhere® that hosts an embedded RSSD that are configured for network password encryption.

If the SAP Replication Server, SAP ASE, RSSD, or embedded RSSD is configured to require login encryption, SAP Control Center establishes a connection using a password that is encrypted during network transmission.

Note: Password encryption is not supported in the SAP Replication Agent for systems administrator password, and in a non-SAP data server that retrieves latency and rs_ticket performance data.

For information on setting up encrypted password on SAP Replication Server and SAP ASE, see Replication Server Configuration Guide > Password Encryption and Adaptive Server System Administration Guide: Volume 1 > Setting Configuration Parameters.
