Re: For a SQL Account do Credebtials come to SQL in clear text?



If you are using sql authentication then the answer is yes. That is one of the many reasons to use Windows authentication.

Does a SQL Server 2000 Account credebtials get passed from a aspx file to
the SQL Server in clear text?

My understanding is that the default port for SQL Server is 1433 and if a
sniffer were put in front of the SQL Server what form would the username and
password come to the server in?
The web page uses http port 80 so no SSL is involved.
