Lotus Notes Password Verification...

Asked by bganoush in Lotus Notes, Miscellaneous Security, Lotus Domino Email Server

Hi,

I have a web application that uses the IBM HttpServer with authentication done through Lotus Notes (probably using a Domino server app). I can export the usernames and passwords to a text file and obviously, the passwords are encrypted.

What I would like to do is to create my own login page using my own cgi or java front end and then compare the passwords to what I find in my text file. Now the only way I can think of to do this is to take the password given by the user and then "encrypt" it the same way that Lotus does and then I compare the two encrypted strings.  This is what I used to do in Unix a long time ago and it worked like a charm.

So my question is.. does anyone out there know what the encryption method is for Lotus Notes? And can I use the Unix encryption commands to generate the same encryption?  Any other ideas?
