Encypt Question - Making New Users.db
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1999
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 23830
interpreted = N
texte = More with Encypt...I want to use the templates in the security folder to create a newUsers.dbthat allowe me to set up security without doing it through the Users.db,which I would like to keep protected. In other words, a modular securitydatabase I can use elsewhere or offer as a security mechanism to someoneusing the site, but who I want isolated from the main site admin.I know the encrypt tags used on these security templates are coded for usewith the Users.db. I assumed I would use the encrypt/decrypt tag with aseed value to replace the Users.db encrypt.Your message below seems to indicate the encrypt tag used with the Users.dbcould be used elsewhere if you didn't need to decrypt. Is that true, orwill I have to replace the Users.db encrypt tag with normal encrypt/decryptwith a seed value?I also don't much like using encrypt with a seed value on a template thatmay get downloaded without processing the WebDNA. If someone got a templatethey would have my seed value. What is the point of using the encrypt tagif you still have such exposure?I realize I can encrypt the whole template as in appendix D, but this meansthe whole template is scrambled. Is that my best alternative? Anythoughts...?RH Proutyrhp@BristolCapital.com---------->From: PCS Technical Support
