Enter the user name and the password for database access in the INI files' section [ODBC] of Automation Engines and utilities. For safety reasons, the password should always be encoded. This is what the program UCYBCRYP.EXE is for.
The file UCYBCRYP.EXE is stored in the directory IMAGE:TOOLS\ENCRYPT. Use the following parameters to enter the program via the command line:
UCYBCRYP[.EXE]
-p -n Password
Note: The password length is limited to 32 characters.
The file PASSWORD.UCC which contains the encoded password is created in the same directory. The encoded password can now be copied to the INI file.
UCYBCRYP.EXE requires the C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
Example
ucybcryp -p -n uc4
Note that an encrypted password starts with two leading hyphens. Two exclamation marks are shown instead of hyphens if the file content of PASSWORD.UCC under Windows is output with the command TYPE. Thus, always copy the password from the file.
