Hello All,
I'm sure I'm making this much harder than it has to be...
Added Cryptonite global extension and set my Users' table password field to be encrypted.
Added a Key and left the Initialization Vector as is.
Now I cannot login to my application via browser. I expected this as the password field is not encrypted "on the fly" so to speak.
I cannot get my brain wrapped around how to get logged in.
User enters a username and password (LOC:Password).
Do I encrypt the entered password to match the already encrypted password in the users table or decrypt the stored password, etc.
Are the encrypted fields (via the global extension) hashed, Blowfish'ed, AES?? Just by what method are they encrypted by default?
Anyway, thank you you for any help.
Don
