Re: Storing encrypted passwords on AS400

Tehre is a special object type for storing "customer-made" user profiles, so they are not AS users but can be checked with AS functions, and protected with some encription, I don't know how strong, but very likely better than an improvised algorithm.

Also, I don't know your application and so am probbaly missing
something, but one of the outstanding features of the AS/400 is its
security. Rather than go through all this roll your own stuff, why not use
the built in ID/password mechanism and use the Toolbox/JTOpen password
validation support for automatic handling?



This would require all the web users to have AS400 userids (as I
understand what you're saying). We want to be able to give them web
access without giving them AS400 access. The AS400s involved are
behind firewalls and DMZs.
