I've been looking at the Ask Dialog with a view of using a clone of
it in my application. However, I'd like to be able to present a
traditional "change/set password" dialog where the user is asked to
enter their current password and then type in their new password
twice. This means I'll need direct access to MC's encryption
function.
I've checked the on-line help and can't find any reference to
encryption in MC apart from stack the protection mechanism. However,
when I looked at the scripts of the Ask Dialog, I found the use of an
undocumented function "mcencrypt()". Does anyone know the details of
this function, what it produces and how secure it is? Also, is there
an mcdecrypt() function or is the mechanism one-way only (a very
common approach!)?
Cheers
Peter
