Greetings All !
I am working with an application that has a column that contain a field for application account password.
We have to type the password in that field in order for the application to communicate with other components, The problem is that specific field is unmasked. Once i type the password its visible to others that have access to that menu which creates a security concern.
I am looking for a way to change that field so it mask the password.
I've tried searching the progress KB's but couldn't find any related articles.
Some information about our environment:
DB: OE 11.3.2
OS: Linux SUSE
Application: QAD\EAM 12.8 .NETUI
If you are using a .Net based control like System.Windows,Forms.TextBox or Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraTextEditor, you can set the contol's PasswordChar property.
The Progress "format phrase" has a "BLANK" option. See if that works for you.

What Simon said for .NET controls.... for Progress GUI don't use BLANK (imo), use the PASSWORD-FIELD attribute. It replaces every character typed with an * like most password entry widgets do.
