Transmission Password Encryption Cipher Selection

The cipher that is used to encrypt the password during transmission is controlled using the TRNENCRL_CIPHER/STCTRNENCRL_CPIHER and TRNENCRR_CIPHER parameters. Each of these parameters provides a list of ciphers. TRNENCRL_CIPHER/STCTRNENCRL_CPIHER provides the list of requested ciphers for locally initiated connections. TRNENCRR_CIPHER provides a ranked list of permitted ciphers for remotely initiated connections.

In order to use Transmission Password Encryption Cipher Selection, the following must be true:
