Hi all

Does anybody knows how the about the users and their passwords are stored in the PowerDesigner repository. Are they encrypted and how. We need that information for our security department they want to have it documented.

Thanks

The password is not saved in the repository.

For a local user, a hash is saved. During login, the saved hash is compared with the new hash.
