Encrypting the Password

Entries in the libtcl.cfg file are in human-readable format. SAP provides a pwdcrypt utility for basic password encryption.

pwdcrypt is a simple algorithm that, when applied to keyboard input, generates an encrypted value that can be substituted for the password. pwdcrypt is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin.

From the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS directory, enter:
```
bin/pwdcrypt
```
Enter your password twice when prompted.
pwdcrypt generates an encrypted password. For example:
```
0x01312a775ab9d5c71f99f05f7712d2cded2i8d0ae1ce78868d0e8669313d1bc4c706
```
Copy and paste the encrypted password into the libtcl.cfg file using any standard text editor. Before encryption, the file entry appears as:
```
ldap=libsybdldap.so
ldap://ldaphost/dc=sybase,dc=com??one??bindname=uid=Manager,dc=sybase,
dc=com?password
```
Replace the password with the encrypted string:
```
ldap=libsybdldap.so
ldap://ldaphost/dc=sybase,dc=com??one??bindname=uid=Manager,dc=sybase,dc=com?
0x01312a775ab9d5c71f99f05f7712d2cded2i8d0ae1ce78868d0e8669313d1bc4c706
```
Warning! Even if your password is encrypted, you should still protect it using file-system security.
