[PHP] mcrypt for win32

2001-07-10 Thread Troy Moreland 

Can anyone explain how to install the Win32 version of mcrypt? I've
downloaded the Win32 zip file and there are no docs on how to install.
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Encrypt Password for Session

2001-05-17 Thread Troy Moreland 

I fully understand what you are saying.  The problem is that I'm storing
their password so that they don't have to re-enter it on each new page
visited.  If I can't decrypt it, then I can't pass that password for the
user.  How do I keep passing the password then w/o having to write it to the
session.  Is that the right way to do it??

Thanks again!

 What I do is md5() encrypt the password and store it in the text file or
 database.  Md5 is a one way algorithm, though, so you can never decrpyt
the
 password.  What you do, is when you want to authenticate a user, you md5
 encrypt the text they typed in and compare that to the md5 hash in your
file
 or database or wherever.  If they match, you let them in.

 Subject: [PHP] Encrypt Password for Session


  All,
 
  I am currently using sessions to store a user's ID, password and current
  login status.  All works fine.  The only issue is that the session file
on
  the server is storing the password in plain text.  How do I encrypt that
  password and how to I decrypt it for comparing?
 
  Thanks in advance!!

[PHP] Maintaining authentication credentials for session

2001-05-09 Thread Troy Moreland 

I've read many docs on how to accept an ID and password throughout a session
but it's just over my head I guess!?

What I want to do is have someone login, verify that against LDAP directory.
If the authentication is accepted, hold the credentials until the user
either closes the browser or clicks on a logout link.

I'm relatively new to PHP so talk gently! :)  I am able to browse and modify
user entries using LDAP.  That part isn't a problem.  Integrating what I
have with a session is just hurting my head!

Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Please advise if I posted to wrong forum!
