Hello, how can I encrypt and decrypt passwords in a database without any components; can it be done?
Thanks, Martin.

hey Michael, if you are thinking what i am thinking
if he answers "SQL", were you going to point him to the "undocumented and unsupported" encryption built into SQL 2000?
if that's the case, you have good links for that?

well, i searched around a bit and found the command "pwdencrypt()", and considering every hit i found says "undocumented", that must be it, but searching google for that term brings back a bunch of hits talking about some security hole......
but its probably a hole that has been plugged by now
still looking for a page on how to use this

i couldnt tell you because while i know the 6.xx code inside and out, i have yet to even look at a line of code in V7 since i am currently shopping for a .NET-based answer to forums
back on the pwddecrypt(), i just posted on a few other forums trying to fish for some how-to's
our DBA here at work knows a little, he said he's gonna get some code toghether for me, i'll be sure to post it
