I'm a bit groggy this morning, so the answer to this may be obvious to everyone but me. I'm trying to think of a way to have an application validate the password of a user without actually going through a login. What I want to do is write a package/stored procedure as a privileged user, and allow other users to use it only if they supply the privileged user's password. The procedure therefore has to 'validate' the password internally. There are probably other ways to do this as well?

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good,
you'll have to ram them down people's throats. Received on Fri Sep 29 2000 - 12:04:59 CDT
