Does anyone know how to encrypt/decrypt password in a Baan session?
The password should be displayed/stored in encrypted form. We are on 4c2/Unix

Thanks

Hi
U may find the command in /baan4c4/bse/bin
just give encrypt6.1 and then password it shows eincrypted script

Maneesh,

Here is an example from TG scipts -

string temp(80)

temp = crypt.password$("hello")
if is.password.ok("hello", temp) then
message("Correct Password")
else
message("Incorrect Password")
endif
if is.password.ok("hello1", temp) then
message("Correct Password")
else
message("Incorrect Password")
endif

I didn't find a direct function to decrypt the password. Now, back to the standard Q. Why are you doing it?

does this functuion needs any dll to be linked or file to be included in code?

No. They are standard functions.

Here is an example from TG scipts -

Code:
string temp(80)

temp = crypt.password$("hello")
if is.password.ok("hello", temp) then
message("Correct Password")
else
message("Incorrect Password")
endif
if is.password.ok("hello1", temp) then
message("Correct Password")
else
message("Incorrect Password")
endif

Is there a similar function for decrypting the password , I tried to search but invain , so finally I had to write my own encryption/decryption algorithm .

Regards,

If Baan implemented that method correctly, this should be a one way hashing method. So there is no decryption back from the "digest" created with crypt.password$() to the original password. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function
