Password encryption in REPORTER

REPORTER 5-2: These settings are found in the [ModuleName::REPORTERDataCollectionPlugin] section of Eilocal.ini.

REPORTER 5-3 and later: These settings are found in ReporterPlugin.ini.

Description

These settings determine whether the value saved in the Password setting in [ModuleName::REPORTERDataCollectionPlugin] is encrypted.

UseEncryptedPassword 0 = Do not encrypt passwords.

1 = Encrypt passwords (default).

EncryptedPassword 0 = The password has not been encrypted yet. If UseEncryptedPassword=1, EncryptedPassword automatically changes to 1 after a ReadSoft Invoices module connects to the REPORTER database for the first time.

1 = The password is encrypted. (The value in the Password setting is encrypted.)

Note You cannot reverse an encrypted password by setting UseEncryptedPassword to 0. After a password is encrypted, it stays that way. However, you can use this setting when you change the password. For example, when you change the password for the login account used by the REPORTER clients to send data to REPORTER's database, you might want to test the password before encryption. So you set UseEncryptedPassword to 0. After you ensure that the password works, set UseEncryptedPassword back to 1.
