net password encryption reqd restricts login authentication to use only RSA encryption algorithm or the Sybase proprietary algorithm. Table 5-3 describes valid values for net password encryption reqd.
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
0 |
Allows the client to choose the encryption algorithm used for login passwords on the network, including no password encryption. |
1 |
Restricts clients to use either RSA or Sybase proprietary encryption algorithms to encrypt login passwords on the network. This provides an incrementally restrictive setting that allows clients who have previously connect to reconnect with the Sybase proprietary algorithm and new clients to connect with the stronger RSA algorithm. A client that attempts to connect without using password encryption fails. |
2 |
Restricts clients to use only the RSA encryption algorithms to encrypt login passwords on the network. This provides strong RSA encryption of passwords. Clients that attempt to connect without using the RSA encryption fail. |
When a connection is refused because network password encryption is required, the client receives:
Msg 1640, Level 16, State 2: Adaptive Server requires encryption of the login password on the network.
