Hello guys,
Question..
When someone connects from Host_A to Host_B and if the communication is not encrypted using Advanced Security Option (ASO) or a similar mechanism, would the user credentials be sent in Clear Text? If so, is there a way to secure it? The requirement is to protect the username/password without using ASO/SSH Tunnel.
If my memory serves correctly, a lower version of ASO (40 or 56-bit) encryption is available for free? Is that true?
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
-Upendra
