We are running AIX 6.0 TL7 and Informix 11.50 .FC9XA. InfoSec has requested that we change from an MD5 encryption to a SHAH256 to pass audits. We have done this and now we have issues with passwords which are encrypted with SHAH256. When we reset the user to use MD5 it works but when we use the SHAH256 it will fail saying: 17:12:49 listener-thread: err = -952: oserr = 0: errstr = <USER>@<SERVER>: User (<USER>@<SERVER>)'s password is not correct for the database server. Anybody have any suggestions what I need to look at? TIA
