I have a circumstance that requires me to use an alternative
authentication scenario. The authentication to our school's web site/
services is handled by the the hosting service. (There is some sort of
syncing that occurs with our local Active Directory database.)

I'm installing some Django apps on the school's local webserver which
needs to authenticate against the remote database.

The hosting service sent me this decrypt function in ASP.

Function DeCrypt(strEncrypted, strKey)
   Dim strChar, iKeyChar, iStringChar
   For i = 1 To Len(strEncrypted)
      iKeyChar = (Asc(Mid(strKey, i, 1)))
      iStringChar = Asc(Mid(strEncrypted, i, 1))
      iDeCryptChar = iKeyChar Xor iStringChar
      strDecrypted = strDecrypted & Chr(iDeCryptChar)
   Next
   DeCrypt = strDecrypted
End Function

UserName = Decrypt(request.Cookies("sample")("u"), "Encrypt Key")

I'm assuming this Xor decrypt function can be rewritten in Python but
I could use some help getting started on how to put this all together.
