Password encryption

The SECURITY environment variable specifies the security operations that are performed when the Informix® JDBC client and Informix database server exchange data. The only setting for the SECURITY environment variable supported in HCL Informix JDBC Driver is PASSWORD.

If PASSWORD is specified, the user-provided password is encrypted using 56-bit encryption when it is passed from the client to the database server. There is no default setting.

Here is an example:
String URL = "jdbc:informix-sqli://158.58.10.171:1664:user=myname;
password=mypassord;INFORMIXSERVER=myserver;SECURITY=PASSWORD";

PASSWORD is not case sensitive.
