Re^3: DBD::Sybase with Repserver and password encryption

Could you list the versions of ...

perl & DBD::Sybase;
the external libraries (e.g. freetds or ones from AES) that DBD::Sybase uses;
isql;
Replication Server

... for possibly others to help?

You could do DBI->trace(4); before connect() to see where the issue is at more granular level.

At this point all I can say is to check that encrypted passwords match as sent by isql & DBD::Sybase (say, via tcpdump or some other network packet analyzer) to the replication server.

Setting the trace has helped I believe I see this which only appears when the encryptPassword is set on -> DBI->connect(dbi:Sybase:server=MY_REPSERVER;encryptPassword=1, rep +serv_user, **) !!
