Password verification - ask at runtime

rocketman

There's a part of y system where - for security reasons I need my members to verify who they are by inputting Login Name and Password. When tried

find Members where members loginName = ?ask at runtime AND members.password = ?ask at runtime,

The find fails, It works when I remove the password=?ask at runtime.

I can fully understand the reasoning behind encryption and not being able to send password by email, but I would have thought that internally (ie within itself) AwareIM would have been able to make this comparison?

Hi,

One option to consider would be to create a new text field called something like "PasswordText". This is used as an internal password field that can be viewed in plain text. Any changes to this field are automatically translated to the true password field so in essence they are always synced. This way, you still use a fully encrypted password field but could adjust your query to members.PasswordText = ?ask at runtime and get the same result/functionality.

Cheers,
