eGreetings,
I THINK I understand that the "Crypt" function is used to encrypt a
password that can be checked
by challenging user input (asking to input the password). Verifies plain
text against encrypted data -
It can NOT be decrypted.
?1 = where does this encrypted file (or string) exist after created? in
the "shadow" file perhaps?
?2 = I am using the following lines of code for testing - I must not
understand what I'm doing
cuz does not seem to do as expected:
userid = "xcodex"
Crypt.MD5(userid, "abcdefgh")
cked = Crypt.Check(userid, "abcdefgh")
Message.Info(cked)
cked ALWAYS returns "T" no matter how the code values are changed. Doc
says "True" = not found?
?3 = could someone give me a couple lines of code to perform this
function? learning by example ;-)
$4 = what's your opinion if this method is a secure way to store/ verify
a users entry password?
Thank you very much for any help - it is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
