Password Handling in Oracle # When using SICS with an Oracle database the user can change his or her password when logging into SICS, assuming the password is not already expired.

Password Encryption # The database connection password may be encrypted.
In the SICS installation folder, there is a file named encrypt.bat. This bat file takes a plain-text string (the password) as input, calls a SICS utility program and outputs an encrypted version of the string. This encrypted value will always be prefixed with % so as to later recognize it as an encrypted value.
The encrypted password can be provided in the command line password field and/or the ini file settings password field, see above.
