Passwords

A user can be granted the ability to manage other users' passwords. You can configure password management to require one or two users to complete a password change.

• Passwords in the Database
  As of version 15.0, SAP Sybase IQ uses SHA256 to hash passwords. Passwords are stored in UTF-8.
• Granting the CHANGE PASSWORD System Privilege to a User
  Allow a user to manage the password of other users.
• Revoking the CHANGE PASSWORD System Privilege from a User
  Remove the ability of a user to manage passwords and administer the system privilege.
• Changing a Password – Single Control
  A single user can manage the password of another user.
• Dual Control Password Management Option
  The Dual Control Password option requires two administrative users to change the password of a target user, thus ensuring that no single user knows (or controls) the password of the target user.
• Changing a Password – Dual Control
  Two users are required to manage the password of another user.
