Normally, if you're NOT dealing with the users.db which has its own encryption code built into the webcat admin templates, you would do this:[append db=xxx.db]password=[encrypt seed=whatever][form.password][/encrypt][/append]And to decrypt the password field, you would use:[decrypt seed=whatever][password][/decrypt]... instead of the normal [password] tag when you're inside a founditems context, for example. >Further I want some of my pages encrypted, but if I do it then my customers >just get garbles when accessing the pages, of course.If you're seeking secure data transmission of entire web pages, the only way to do that is with a SSL webserver such as WebSTAR/SSL ... but that has nothing to do with webcatalog, it's something the SSL webserver and the browser takes care of at a lower level.Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Consultant Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
