Answer: D

Who can give me any tips?
Thanks so much!

you are correct:

"SERVER_ENCRYPT

Authentication takes place on the server.
Passwords are encrypted at the client machine
before being sent to the server."

Hi Rahul,

Answer D is correct becouse if "SERVER_ENCRIPT" then user name and password both are sent via network to server in incripted formate.

"If you want to protect the user ID and password from eavesdropping, use
authentication type SERVER_ENCRYPT so that both user ID and password are
encrypted."

some updation is needed for ibm tutorials

from v8 info center : http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...79%70%74%22%20

If authentication is SERVER, the *user ID and password* are sent from the client to the server so that authentication can take place on the server. The value SERVER_ENCRYPT provides the *same behavior* as SERVER, except that any *passwords* sent over the network are encrypted.
