********Password Encryption ********

[KathyJones]

One of my clients requirement is that, I need to decode the password that Business objects encrypts using Sybase 11 Encryption Algorithm.
As im using the same password entered by BO user to login to the database internally through vba, I need to give this password in the connection parameters and its encoded and it reads it as '*******'.
I read the password from the system variable 'BOPASS' and im not able to decode it.
I found from the manuals that BO uses sybase 11 encryption algorithm for password Encryption - (as my middleware is Sybase 11. )
how will i go about decoding these asteriks?

Anybody Help
Thanks, kathy.

I think you must add in the ctlib.sbo (v4) or sybase.sbo (v5) and the section [Sybase Adaptive Server 11] that :

Password_Encryption=0
