Password obscuring: msg#00345

Subject: Password obscuring
> I recently read on an old listserv message that SAP intended to implement 
> password encryption into the ODBC driver in release 7.4
> 
> This came as a surprise, as I checked the 7.3 implementation some time ago 
> with a packet sniffer and clearly saw the password in plain. This persuaded 
> me to implement an SSL tunnel for connections, which works well, but really 
> slows the connection down.
> 
> I checked the 7.4 implementation with a packet sniffer this morning, and 
> couldn't see the password. Could somebody from SAP confirm for me that you 
> did implement password encryption in 7.4 (I couldn't find anything in the 
> release notes)?
> 
> Many thanks
