Password encryption
Found in
Section
Description
These settings determine whether the password in Eiglobal.ini 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 is opened for the first time.
1 = The password is encrypted. (The value in the Password setting is encrypted.) |
Upgrading from Invoices 5-4 or earlier: These settings do not appear in the old Eiglobal.ini file, which means that the password is not encrypted. If you keep this file when upgrading to Invoices 5-5 and later, the default values for the above two settings are 0, not 1.
To enable encryption in an INI file that was created prior to Invoices 5-4 SP1, add the following settings to the [Database] section:
UseEncryptedPassword=1 EncryptedPassword=0
INVOICES encrypts the password the first time a module is started and sets EncryptedPassword to 1 to indicate that the value in the Password setting has been encrypted.
