Encryption

Cem,

I need to do 3 things. 

1.) Encrypt user passwords and then store them in the database. Of course they would need to be unencrypted to read them back.

2.) Encrypt any path information before storing in the database.

3.) Encypt the source code to prevent prying eyes from getting a copy. Any suggestions on this?

Many Thanks,

Mark

First and second things can be done by adding some code but there is an easier way: password protecting your Access database. You should then add the password to the connection string in inc_config.asp so that WebExplorer Server can access your protected database. However one can read the password from this file easily so you may need to write an encrypted version of the password by the help of a function. 

By the way make sure that your database is not downloadable, check IIS settings as described in setup instructions.

You can use Microsoft Script Encoder to encrypt the source code.
