Encryption Method
Encryption Method
(OP)
Hi
I need to validate a User Id and password against an Ellipse 5.2.3 database (MSF020).
Any ideas as to what encryption method or module I can use
to validate the password.
I need to implement this validation in a legacy java application.
Regards
Kes

RE: Encryption Method
The returned value from crypt is truncated to 10 characters and stored (or compared with during sign-on) in the field pass_word of the database table msf020.
So you could download a version of crypt from the internet and re-create the salt and compare the Ellipse password via a JDBC connection to the database, however this does not mean you can bypass the Ellipse Login process when creating a connection with Ellipse using the Ellipse API’s.
