This file nneds to be loaded in qlikview and make connection withese credentials to database and do DIRRECT QUERY .

Please suggest how can qlikview read the encryptedtext ,decrypt in qlikivew to make successful connection.

I think you'll need to ask the client how they encrypt it and how they recommend you decrypt/use it

Whatever the outcome, please try to convince your prospect to not consider this minor technical issue (a suitable solution will be found in any case) as a stumbling block for buying QlikView.

If this minor issue is holding your customer back and you need assitance, please contact your Qlik partner or local Qlik office. They will be glad to help sort this out.
