As a business partner we work with customer SalesLogix databases often. Along with getting a database backup we need to ask the customer what their SalesLogix admin user password is, as well as any other user passwords needed for testing. I tend to think I'll remember these passwords and don't write them down, but then end up forgetting them later. Step in the SalesLogix User Logins tool. This open source tool from Customer FX will retrieve all SalesLogix user login names and unencrypted passwords with a click of a button.
The SalesLogix User Logins Tool
The SalesLogix User Login tool will connect to a SalesLogix SQL database using the SQL sysdba account and then list all SalesLogix users and decrypt their passwords as well. You can easily export this list as well for easy saving.
Source Code Available

A Word of Warning
Obviously, a tool like this makes it possible for anyone to connect to your SalesLogix database and see all the passwords, right? Well, sort of. The tool still requires the SQL sysdba account password to connect to the database in the first place. If you leave the sysdba account password the standard "masterkey" then you're opening your data up to prying eyes with or without a tool like this. So, it's a good idea to not leave it the standard password. Always set a secure password for the sysdba account.
