Hi, It appears that state-of-the art salted-MD5 password verification is possible with mysql's encrypt() function (for details, see http://bugs.mysql.com/?id=784). Unfortunately, this doesn't work with the plain windows version of mysql (Ver 4.0.13-nt for NT on i32). Cygwin users, however have a /usr/lib/libcrypt.a and /usr/bin/crypt.exe - perhaps mysql could use those?
Has anybody got something like this to work with mysql under windows? Any hints how to do that would be highly appreciated.
