As a system administrator, you define the user name and password for database connection in the [ODBC] section of the INI files of the Automation Engine and the Utilities.
Make sure that the password is obfuscated. To do so, you can use UCYBCRYP.EXE, which is located in the Tools > encrypt folder of your installation directory.
Notes:
-
Obfuscating passwords hinders easy disclosure of the values but does not guarantee confidentiality.
-
UCYBCRYP.EXE requires the C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
-
The password length is limited to 32 characters.
Use the following parameters to enter the program via the command line:
UCYBCRYP[.EXE] -p -n Password
The PASSWORD.UCC file, which contains the obfuscated password, is created in the same directory. You can copy it to the relevant INI file.
Example
ucybcryp -p -n uc4
Important! An obfuscated password starts with two leading hyphens. If the content of the PASSWORD.UCC file is output with the command TYPE in Windows, two exclamation marks are displayed instead of the leading hyphens; therefore, make sure to copy the password from the file. However, if the obfuscated password is not recognized correctly and you get an error message, try typing in the two leading hyphens manually.
