SAP Note 1764043 - Support for secure storage in BR*Tools

Summary :
SAP Kernel 7.20, Patch Level 100, enhances security for database user authentication by integrating a new system, Secure Storage in File System (SSFS), to securely store SAP database user and password data. Previously, the BRCONNECT "chpass" function handled this by updating both Oracle dictionary and SAP's internal storage simultaneously. With the update, this function will modify login information in SSFS instead. This secure method also separately maintains Java schema passwords but required manual updates via the SAP J2EE configuration tool until now. The note details the implementation of a new command option "-s|-secstore" in the BRCONNECT feature for managing passwords effectively across various SAP schemas without legacy storage tables like SAPUSER.
