Password encryption
The SECURITY environment variable specifies
the security operations that are performed when the Informix® JDBC
client and Informix® database
server exchange data. The only setting for the SECURITY environment
variable supported in Informix® JDBC
Driver is PASSWORD
.
If PASSWORD
is specified, the user-provided password
is encrypted using 56-bit encryption when it is passed from the client
to the database server. There is no default setting.
Here is an example:
String URL = "jdbc:informix-sqli://158.58.10.171:1664:user=myname;
password=mypassord;INFORMIXSERVER=myserver;SECURITY=PASSWORD";
PASSWORD
is not case sensitive.
