Change the LinkADMIN password for SQL Server to a Complex Format. Since this is an application password, we need to ensure that users do not know this password.

The current password is an encrypted version of a 10-digit password. We are extending this to an encrypted version of 30 characters that meets these requirements:

1. Include Symbols:( e.g. @#$% )
2. Include Numbers:( e.g. 123456 )
3. Include Lowercase Characters:( e.g. abcdefgh )
4. Include Uppercase Characters:( e.g. ABCDEFGH )

1. The change will be available in version: 14.40

2. The following changes were made(Include Database object names, Program classes, and any other relevant information):

1. Password changed to complex 30 characters Randomly generated string containing special characters, upper, lower case and numeric

3. Affected Areas:

1. LinkSOFT WEB, Process Service and POS applications
2. The password in the config file is encrypted using 2048 AES
3. You can copy this password from the web config if you want to run older versions on the same server

4. The issue was caused by:

1. Security  improvement
