Hi,

I would have thought that ENCCSM includes encrypting
the password as all the communication between client
and server gets encrypted ...?
But I may be quite wrong with this as I have never looked
into the details of ENCCSM.

Regards,
Martin

ENCCSM is network encryption, that is everything send over the network
will be encrypted including username, password, queries and data.

Manoj and Claus,
Thank you for clearing the mud for me. It appeared to me and a few
others that it meant either one or the other could be done but doesn't
state what "data" is...

Thank you again,

Eric

You are correct. ENCCSM includes password encryption.

Actually, the username is passed in the clear, but the password is not.
