DB2 password not encrypted properly

Former Member

We have Crystal Report 2008 with JDBC connection to DB2. This java program has been running since 2009. Recently our company is upgrading the DB2 encryption algorithm to 256 bit. We updated our JDBC code accordingly. But the DB2 server monitor keeps reporting that there are a few "Unencrypted password" while the remaining thousand DB2 connections are all properly encrypted. We can't figure out why. Does anyone encounter this problem? Is it because we're using the older version of Crystal Report? Would it help if we upgrade to 2013, 2016 releases?

Not sure, Crystal will not encrypt the password between it and the DB2 Client, it would be the Client that then encrypts it to connect to the server.

Upgrading to CR 2016 may work, you'll have to try it from here using the Trial version:
