Hi...

I have a linked server created to access an Oracle database. I NEED to know if the Oracle userid/password used to configure the linked server is encrypted. My manager is asking and I need to answer. Also, is the data passed back to SQL Server via openrowset encrypted?

Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks! So the userid/password is passed from SQL Server to Oracle as clear text? How do I encrypt it?

Thanks again!
