Securing Password in QDocs
The node encodedPasswords in the qxtendconfig.xml file specifies whether the request QDocs use encoded passwords to access the target QAD Enterprise Applications. By default, this value is set to false, and the passwords used in the QDocs are unencoded. If you want to secure the password in QDocs, open the qxtendconfig.xml file from TOMCAT_HOME/webapps//WEB-INF/conf and set the encodedPasswords value to true. When the value is set to true, if you use unencoded passwords, the request will be rejected. If you do not specify the user name and the password and Require Authentication is not checked for the receiver, the request is processed using the user name and the password set in the connection pool settings.
