Default Algorithm to create an encrypted Oracle password - 04-09-2008 , 03:14 AM






Hello there,

do you know an algorithm for me, which is able to encrypt passwords,
which are compatible Oracle passwords? There is a maximum length
limitation in Oracle (30 chars) and the algorithm should not produce
an encrypted password longer than 30 characters, if the clear text
password is less than or equals 30 characters. The best algorithm for
me would be one, which always creates an encrypted password with a
length of 30 characters.

I need the algorithm for a C# (.NET) application.

Thank you,
Norbert

Oracle does not encrypt the password. It creates a hash. When you log in
it hashes what you supply as a password and compares that with what is
stored. Why do you need to know the hash algorithum for Oracle? There are
plenty of good ones publicaly available.

Norbert, depending on your unnamed version of Oracle and exactly what
you are intending to do Oracle provides encryption routines that can
be used to encrypt and decrypt data. These might be of use to you.
