To use an encrypted password, complete the following steps.

  1. Generate an encrypted password from the Password_Encrypt.bat file. For more information on how to generate an encrypted password, refer to the Encrypt a password topic.
    Example: IPEnmmcqUfVudqwKxWzoJE/smb5H4L2KgJ7n2UjvUYZ5iZ+eHA+udol+rOp+DqkFPAuQ1aRPE0lcV868A75AzbFrnGWHv/oFae893qUwQZNTgjGBfRZAblqT4nsxBQld12XwAmKlP3qVhOwFlfas5/dbgX+lmx7zS/fzyzes7yY=
  2. Copy and paste the encrypted password to the Project.ini file, next to the corresponding SQL_VL_<Connection group number>_EncryptedPassword key.
  3. You can use the corresponding SQL_VL_<Connection group number>_ConnectionString without any password information. Remove the unencrypted password key-value pair from the connection strings if it already contains password information.

    Remove password information from the connection string.

    Note:

    The values in the Data Source and Password fields are fictitious and are for representation sake only.

    SQL_VL_01_ConnectionString=Provider=ORAOLEDB.ORACLE;Data Source=EXAMPLE;Password=EXAMPLE1;User ID=Hyland

    The final connection string looks like:

    SQL_VL_01_ConnectionString=Provider=ORAOLEDB.ORACLE;Data Source=EXAMPLE; User ID=Hyland
