FIPS-140-2-compliant password encryption

Encryption of login and remote passwords in Open Client and Open Server is accomplished with the Sybase Common Security Infrastructure (CSI). CSI 2.6 complies with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2.

To support FIPS encryption, a Certicom Security Builder shared library named libsbgse2.so (UNIX and Linux platforms) or libsbgse2.dll (Microsoft Windows platforms) is installed on platforms that do not already use the Certicom Security Builder. Also, the sybcsi subdirectory found in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib3p or $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib3p64 has been removed.

For information about Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in Open Client and Open Server, see the Open Client and Open Server Configuration Guide for your platform.
