    Z66 Password Loading

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23

    Description:
    We need to create new staff accounts in ALEPH.
    We intend to load a Z66 file from Excel using p_file_04.
    p_file_06 can't be used because the file from our old system is in tab-delimited format.
    However, we will have problem loading because requires the Z66_USER_PASSWORD_ENC in encrypted form, but we can only provide the password in clear text form.
    Is there any way to turn off the encryption of password for Z66?

    Resolution:
    The encryption cannot be cancelled and only file-06 can encrypt the passwords.
    The options are:
    * loading via p_file_06 with unencrypted passwords which the loading program will encrypt
    * loading via p_file_04 with unencrypted passwords which will remain unencrypted, in which case it is recommended to force a password change immediately.
