Hi,

I was looking for the same feature.

In my company, the use of postgre odbc client is compromised because
passwords are stored as clear text in Windows registry.
Our use case consists in individual authentication to postgre databases,
thanks to ldap2pg tool, for BI purposes.
As a consequence, individual passwords are used in odbc clients.
Then, the fact that postgre odbc client stores these passwords as clear
text is a real security issue.

Password encryption would be really appreciated.

Regards,

Benjamin
