Encrypting the password

Entries in the libtcl.cfg and libtcl64.cfg files are in human-readable format. Sybase 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 Open Client and Open Server (OCS) directory, enter at your command prompt:
```
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 ASCII-text editor. Before encryption, the file entry appears as follows:

The LDAP URL must be on a single line.
```
ldap=libsybdldap.dll
ldap://dolly/dc=sybase,dc=com????bindname=cn=Manager,dc=sybase,
dc=com?secret
```

Replace the password with the encrypted string:

ldap=libsybdldap.dll
ldap://dolly/dc=sybase,dc=com????bindname=cn=Manager,dc=sybase,dc=com?
0x01312a775ab9d5c71f99f05f7712d2cded2i8d0ae1ce78868d0e8669313d1bc4c706

WARNING! Even if your password is encrypted, you should still protect it using file-system security.
