Hi folks,
I'm running into a verification problem. We are trying to provide an
authentication layer to an application where the app will check if the user
entered a valid password. I can get the encrypted pw out od DBA_USERS. Is
there a way to run the password encryption manually so I can compare the
submitted password to the encrypted one out of DBA_USERS? Obviously, there
is no way of getting the "real" password out of Oracle. The authentication
is happening before the user logs on, so I can't just trap an invalid logon
(e.g. viaVisual Basic ERR function).
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris Ermlich
