Encrypted Password

Using an encrypted password will improve security for your XSPOC server.

1. Create a new strong password, preferably with a random password generator.
2. Change the password for the SpocWrite account to the new password using SSMS.
3. Use the new password in the connection string of an XSPOC client on a remote machine to connect to the server.
4. Tools->Generate Encrypted Password
5. Use the new encrypted password in the connection string of the XSPOC client to connect to the server.
6. Distribute the new shortcut with the encrypted password in the connection string to other users.

Example connection string in the "Target" box of the shortcut properties:
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\xsClientV2\XSClientV2.exe" SERVER=xspocapp.xspoc.com,4510;PWD=6MmlQdT1wgzvAvJHxlQ=;database=xspoc

Generic connection string
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\xsClientV2\XSClientV2.exe" SERVER=[servername];PWD=[password];database=[DBName]

PWHASH:

pwhash /s host.xspoc.com /d xspoc /u SpocWrite /p password

pwhash /s localhost /n /d xspoc
