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.
