I don't suppose you know of any shell commands or software I can use to do this. Most of the articles I have looked at just say that it's not very strong encryption and so they don't show you how to do it. I know it's not very strong but it's what the third party uses and I have to find a solution. I have a php method I may be able to use but would prefer to stay within a WebDNA environment as much as poss as I don't know php that much even if I do need to go to a shell somewhere. Hope you or anyone else can help.
