Support for Sending Encrypted Passwords

Replication Server 12.6 supports the -X option in isql that sends encrypted passwords through the network when making a client connection.

To ensure that all Replication Server client connections—except the first connection to the RSSD—send encrypted passwords, set the Replication Server configuration parameter send_enc_password to on. For example, enter:

configure replication server
 set send_enc_password to 'on'

To ensure that all Replication Server client connections, including the first connection to the RSSD, send encrypted passwords, set the configuration parameter RS_enc_pw to on in the rs_name.cfg file using a text editor.

If RS_enc_pw is on, all Replication Server connections to the RSSD send encrypted passwords, even if send_enc_password is off.
