XPQ: XYGATEPQ now supports AES256 encryption for changing passwords across all NonStop nodes
As of version 3.50 XPQ uses 256-bit AES encryption method if all nodes in your XYGATEPQ environment are upgraded to version 3.50 or later and the ENCRYPTION keyword in the PQCONF of all nodes include a value of AES,<key> pair, e.g. ENCRYPTION AES,DH1024. The <key> isn't used, but it must still be one of the values DH1024 or DH512.
Syntax: ENCRYPTION [{<algorithm>,<key>},{<algorithm>,<key>}],[?],[NONE,NONE]
Where: <algorithm> AES (256-bit AES encryption)
Example: ENCRYPTION AES,DH1024
Note: In the XPQ versions between version 3.20 and version 3.45, the encryption between NETPASS and PASSWORD has been converted to use version 3.20 of the cryptography library. The old Diffie-Hellman encryption method no longer exists in version 3.20 libraryand later. This means that encryption pairs such as ?DES168,DH1024? and ?DES56,dh512?will now just ignore the ?DH1024? and ?dh512? part.
