The following procedure assumes that you have created an ODBC data source called oa90_myDSN.

1. From a command prompt, change to the driver installation directory.

2. Enter oaencpwd.

3. Enter Data Source Name: oa90_mydsn

4. Choose which password to encrypt and store.

   [1]=Password (PWD)

   [2]=DBPassword (DBPWD)

   [3]=HPassword (HPWD)

   [4]=NewPassword (NPWD)

   Choice: [1] ==> 1

5. Enter Password (PWD) (keystrokes are not shown):

   DSN=oa90_myDSN : Password (PWD) stored encrypted.

   Would you like to store a LogonID (UID) as well? [Y] [N]

   Choice: ==> Y

6. Enter ``LogonID (UID):` my_logonid

   DSN=oa90_myDSN : LogonID (UID) stored.

Note

To re-encrypt a password after upgrading to OpenAccess SDK 9.0, follow these steps:

1. Run the EncryptPassword utility and choose [2] Re-encrypt legacy password.
2. Enter DSN name.
3. Select the appropriate password type: PWD, DBPWD, HPWD, NPWD, or TSPWD.
4. The tool automatically performs the following actions:
   • Reads the old encrypted password from the registry or INI file.
   • Decrypts the password using the legacy algorithm.
   • Re-encrypts the password using the new algorithm.
   • Writes the updated password back to the registry or INI file.
