AW: [opencms-dev] Password encrypt ?

[Stefan Delladio]

hello again,

how is the 'normal' way to decrypt a password ?
can i decrypt password with an function from the opencms api ?
i must compare the password that i get from a url request
with the password from the cms_user table...

Hi

i doubt you can decrypt (in a 'normal' way) passwords, probably the
solution is to ask the password once again, encrypt it and compare
the result with the stored password

hope it helps and it's accurate ;-)
