Simple password encryption

The simple password communication support module (SPWDCSM) provides password encryption.

This encryption protects a password when it must be sent between the client and the database server for authentication. SPWDCSM is available on all platforms.

You cannot use password encryption with encryption CSM (ENCCSM). For example, if you are using the SPWDCSM and decide to encrypt your network data, you must remove the entries for the SPWDCSM in your concsm.cfg and sqlhosts files.

You cannot use simple password CSM over a multiplexed connection.
