The asp.net System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication class contains a static
method for hashing passwords that you may find helpful:
string password = "god";
string passwordFormat = "sha1";
string encryptedPassword =
FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfig File(password,passwordFormat);

news:i3****************@news.get2net.dk... It seems like there is no built in procedure for making a password hash
in SQL2000. Am I wrong.
Do I have to make it from scratch myself or is there samples out there?

That's correct - the usual solution is to encrypt/decrypt in the client
application using the Win32 CrpytoAPI, or some other suitable API, then
store only the encrypted password in the database:
Hmm, it would have so easy with a stored procedure. Only problem is that
neither the SQL-server nor the HTTP-server are in my possesion. So
unfortunately I do not have access to "whatever" API I want :-( But as I
recall the provider have ASP.NET and I think there is some encryption
functions in there...
