I don't think any coldfusion function does it. If anybody finds a
solution in pure ColdFusion, send it in!
I don't know much about bash shell and how to reach it with cfexecute,
but i found this workaround:
From mySQL information:
ENCRYPT(str[,salt])
Encrypt str using the Unix crypt() system call. The salt argument should
be a string with two characters. (As of MySQL Version 3.22.16, salt may
be longer than two characters.):
mysql> select ENCRYPT("hello");
-> 'VxuFAJXVARROc'
If crypt() is not available on your system, ENCRYPT() always returns NULL.
ENCRYPT() ignores all but the .rst 8 characters of str, at least on some
systems.
This will be determined by the behavior of the underlying crypt() system
call.
My passwordcreationthingy:
<cfquery datasource="" name="encrypt">
SELECT ENCRYPT('password','pa') AS Pass
</cfquery>
<cfoutput query="encrypt">#Pass#</cfoutput>
My question: performance? Not that this will be used very frequently, i
would like to know witch solution is the most performant, using your
cfexecute & shell thingy or database access?
