Encrypting Password

Hello,

We use the FM DB_CRYPTO_PASSWORD to encrpyt our password. The FM encrypt a word different on a non-UNICODE-System and an UNICODE-System.

At the moment we haven't an UNICODE-System. If we migrate our system into an UNICODE-System, is it possible to "translate" our "old" passwords stored in a data base, so that the passwords are also valid on the UNICODE-System?

Best regards,

Marion Kühl

If the table is SAP standard then SAP take cares of translation of database into UNICODE but if it is in the Z name space then keep the program using this table unicode disabled so that it would work in the same was as it used to.

Thanks,

Hi,

this doesn't solve the problem. Once again: We encrypt the password with the FM DB_CRYPTO_PASSWORD and stored it in a data base table (our name space, not a SAP table). Then we migrated our SAP-System into a UNICODE-System, so that we can't keep any program (or function group) unicode disabled. After that the password will be enter the next time: We will encrypt the password (again with the FM DB_CRYPTO_PASSWORD) and compare with the encrypted password stored in the table. At the moment the result is different (on our test system).

Best regards,

Marion
