encrypting passwords in oracle
dear all,
Just curious, i was just wondering whether this is a bad approach. I created a simple application in asp.net utilizing an oracle database. the application has a login system which i am about to design. for it i am trying to have a new user type in their associated username and password and then have the password encrypted using one of those oracle syntax and save that information in a table and if it is an existing user, what i would like to do is grab the typed in password and encrypt it and verify with the saved encrypted password to see if they are the same, if they are the same then give the user access. Is all this possible in oracle by the way....
