The IBM Informix Password Communication Support Module (PSWDCSM) provides encryption to protect a password when it must be sent between the client and the database server for authentication. PSWDCSM is available on all platforms.
To use password encryption, you must add a line to the CSS/CSM configuration file, concsm.cfg, and add an entry to the options column of the sqlhosts file. The concsm.cfg file must contain an entry for each communications support module that you are using. For information on the concsm.cfg file, see CSM Configuration File. For information on specifying the CSM in the sqlhosts file, see Communication Support Module Option.
