connection to sybase from uniface
Author: lalitpct@gmail.com (lalitpct)
In the uniface connectivity to sybase we use code like [ isql -U <username> -P <password>] and fire in the os where database is present. it connects fine but the issue comes when a testing team (security team) puts some sniffer or some tools which we dont know ..they can see all the code executed and passed to server, database n all
in that we can clearly see username and password ..which is creating an audit issue.. is there any way by which we can haandle in uniface .... like encryptting it while passing ..
when they send us screenshot of when we are hitting server and database ..they could literarlly see everything username ,password ..sensitive data etc
first thing i want to fix is password as it is clearly an issue ...pls let me know if you have any soln for this

Use the option -X with isql. Perhaps it helps
-X Initiates the login connection to the server with client-side password encryption.
