How to encrypt password fields in DB Tables ? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi all!

My requirement is:
1. There is a grid in my application and that has a password field retrieved from the database to be displayed. I need to display asterisks (*****) instead of the string there. How can I do this ?

2. How to encrypt the password fields in the database tables, so that even an DBA willnot be able to know the password ?

Any suggestions/pointers would be of good help!

TIA!
CGK.

While it's certainly not the most secure encryption, SLX does have a DLL that you could use for basic encryption. See more about it here: http://customerfx.com/pages/crmdeveloper/2004/02/10/39095.aspx

Hi Chaitanya,
You can use SLXRWEL.dll for encrypt & decrypt password.
Hers is the sample code:
Set objRwel = CreateObject("SLXRWEL.SLXRWEOBJ")
' To encrypt
sEncrypted = objRwel.Add(password)
' to decrypt
sDecrypted = objRwel.Remove(password)
Set objRwel = Nothing
