I need the algorithm so I can encrypt a password.  The Tomcat Realm would
then compare the encrypted password to the encrypted password in the
database.  I don't need to decrypt the password.

I don't think you are supposed to be able decrypt the passwords.  In fact, I
would hope that you can't or Oracle would have a big problem.

Hey all!

I was wondering if any has ever tried to use a Tomcat Realm directly to
Oracle's Username/Password table.

I found the table in SYSTEM.DBA_USERS which has the username and encrypted
password.  The problem is, I have no way of digesting the password.  Does
anyone know the algorithm Oracle uses to encrypted their passwords?  I've
checked MD5 and SHA but they don't seem to be it.  I tried MD2 but it Tomcat
doesn't seem to like it.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Graham
