MD5 the two and then MD5 it with the server secret compare the final MD5 with that stored in your DB. You might want to issue a ticket based on that validity of the userid / password combo which can be set as a cookie that way you dont have to validate userid and password on every screen. You might want to discuss this on to LIP since it wont be of much use on LIH.
