Is username / password encrypted? (General questions)

I have a very short and simple question: from wich point does the component start using SSL encryption? Is this before the username / password is sent over the line?

For the project I'm currently doing, it is a requirement that the username / password is not sent as ceartext between the client and server.

Thanks in advance, Aron.

Aron,

hi. Yes, in SSH protocol secure layer is enabled *before* any credentials are sent to the server. So, you can be assured that login and password are not sent to the server in cleartext.

Hope I helped,
