    Encrypting Solid username/password in idf.asn

    Author: lalitpct@gmail.com (lalitpct)

    In idf.asn file we need to specify the username and password of SOLID database , but it is plain text , is it possible to encrypt it so that no one know what is the username and password

    eg..idf.asn

    ........................

    [PATHS]

    $SOL    = SOL:shmem solid:|abc|abc

     

    basically requirement is not to make username password visible ini plain file

    Hi,

    Look in the Uniface 8.4 help for this section:
    Scramble user name and password in path definitions using pathscrambler.exe

    That explains how to do it.
