Password Encryption
In releases of Enterprise Architect prior to 7.1, Security Administrators of projects on SQL Server or Oracle repositories can encrypt the password used to set up the connection between Enterprise Architect and the repository. The system user does not have the real password, thereby preventing them from accessing the repository using other tools such as Query Analyzer or SQLPlus.
For password encryption for all repositories at and beyond release 7.1, you provide the connection but protect the password using model shortcuts.
