Enabling Password Encryption for SAP ASE (Sybase)

Enabling Password Encryption for SAP ASE is done by the enabling “net password encryption reqd” on the ASE server.

1. Set 'net password encryption reqd' = 1 (or 2, check the values on SAP site)
2. Restart ASE.

sp_configure 'net password encryption reqd', 1

go

In order to connect this ASE, you need an encryption of the login password.

For example, in isql you need to add the "-X", that Initiates the login connection to the server with client-side password encryption.

Also for connections from RSs, Replications to this server can’t be replicated until we set the connection to it from the other RS (“send_enc_password” parameter, see here).
