<div id="ygrps-yiv-1912889827">Thanks for passing this along, Todd.<br/>
 <br/>
Now all I need to do is get us from 3.00.632 to 5.00.xxx!  Should be able to<br/>
do that by, say, Monday?  :-)<br/>
 <br/>
Regards,<br/>
Scott<br/>

Subject: [Vantage] ODBC Security<br/>
 <br/>
I received this note today from EPICOR regarding the ODBC security thread.<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
&quot;We haven&#39;t any papers as of yet.  The connection to the database is<br/>
controlled by the ODBC driver.  In 5.00 we implement the SQL-92 driver and<br/>
it mandates a higher level of security, in fact you must login using<br/>
&#39;sysprogress&#39; as the username and blank password.  You can change the<br/>
password in the database for that user using the &#39;Data Administration tool&#39;,<br/>
however from that point forward all connections via ODBC will need to supply<br/>
the appropriate password.  This does prevent unauthorized users from<br/>
connecting via ODBC without the password however.<br/>
