I have to create some type of an sp that will force users to change their passwords every 30 days. It sounds like I should be able to create a simple table with the login and the password expiration date. Then, I should create some type of function to check the expiration, get the new password and run sp_password. Has anyone done this before? Where would this table be created? In Master? Would that also be where I should create this sp? Should this be an xp?
I'm fairly light on creating sp's. Can anyone suggest a starting point for me or give any suggestions? I would appreciate any help. Thanks! Toni E.

We store passwords of users of our website. They need to be autenticated and based on that it gives them access to what they are entitled. But its not like NT or server authentication.
This has been setup so that we have a user table and it stores the password. However, it stores it in plain text. Is there any way I can encrypt this field so it is unreadable? Is there a property or a datatype that I can't find? Is there a way to simulate the encryption?

Hi, I usually work with MySQL where it is able tl encrypt a password in a database (for users /clients etc) is there a way to do somthing similar in access. Thanking you in advance Oli
I'm a bit flummoxed on this one (doesn't take much these days). We have a test SQL database and a prod SQL database configured with the same user name and a complex password.
The password consists of letters and numbers, mixed upper and lower.
What I am seeing, however, is that SQL will permit access even if the user gets the case wrong on the letters. One letter, two letters, all letters. It doesn't matter.
I thought SQL passwords were case sensitive; was I wrong?

Edit: I should add that I am running SQL 2000, SP3a (hotfix 0818) on Windows 2000 SP4 and that SQL is clustered on two servers in Active/Passive mode (this applies to both Test and Prod).
