Hello

If you create databases with different encryption algorithms, in time to change the passwords ¿Can be automatically detect used algorithm with UniDAC library components, or must indicate it the user?

Hello,

Encryption algorithm cannot be defined automatically, since, if it was possible, it would simplify hacking of such DB. Therefore a user himself should specify an encryption algorithm, with which each DB was encrypted.
