Case sensitive passwords

  • We are using a legacy routing tool and we have moved the backend database from 2000 to 2005.

    The legacy code is complied so we are not able to alter it.

    There are two parts to the application and one part is expecting to connect with the password of mixed case (Aaaaa) and the other all upper case (AAAAA). the programmers have hardcoded this into the code!!!!!!! is there anyway to make sqlserver 2005 case insensitive on the password???

  • This is solved!

  • How was it solved?

  • with the consent of the vendor who no longer has that version of the source code, hexeditor on dll, changed upper case instance to lower.

  • after listening to that type of fix I think that it may be time to begin the search for a new application vendor ...
