Good afternoon. I have several applications which use tags
such as CFFTP and CFLDAP. These applications do not prompt for user
input, but rather automatically supply the application with the
username and password required from a DB lookup. Currently, the
passwords are stored in plain text in the DB (SQL 2K)...yes, I
know...HORRIBLE!!! How do I secure these passwords or at least
secure passing the passwords to the tags, so that they are not in
plain text? Since I am automatically supplying these passwords, I
can't use salting and hashing, right? Your expedient assistance is
greatly appreciated. Thank you.
