2258758 - Pervasive Database requires a 24 byte key

The Pervasive database requires a 24 byte encryption key to get 128 bit encryption which many of our customers want. However, the password field in Crystal Reports is only 8 bytes long.

• Crystal Reports 2008
• Crystal Reports 2011
• Crystal Reports 2013
• Crystal Reports for Visual Studio SP 16
• Pervasive 11

To view a table with info in Pervasive's Work bench you would query the DB this way as an example:

SET OWNER = '123CR2013123456789012' ;

set ansi_padding=off ;

select * from "DEMODATA"

Check the Pervasive help file on configuring Security

This issue has been assigned to R&D to review and resolve.

In Cystal Reports Designer the password length will be increased to allow enting in a 24 bit encrypted password.

In Crystal Reports for Visual Studio this will work by setting the Password value in the log on info in both the ReportDocument ( Engine) and ReportClientDocument ( RAS )

CR for VS SP 16 should have the fix.

Yet to be determined which version of CR Designer the update will be in.
