RE: Passwords

[Anson Rinesmith]

Let me rephrase that, it didn’t come out at all like I wanted.   I want to store a Crypt-Password in the DB, but I would like to have a web based front end that will allow customers to just enter plain text passwords. Is there a simple way to accomplish that?     Example: abC6Def is what would be entered in the interface, and what a dialup user would type in. In the DB, I would like Crypt-Password == “fd6rkdObsV8yw”     Sorry for the stupid first mail.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anson Rinesmith Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 12:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Passwords   I’ve got a working MySQL/freeRadius setup working.   However, a possible customer, that wants to switch to us, only has access to unix style encrypted passwords. Is there a way I can put them in as encrypted, but still be able to login with the unencrypted password? Or to decrypt the passwords into cleartext ( I don’t think is possible without knowing the key)?       Anson Rinesmith
